I have seen four species of butterflies in this classification. The most common one that I see more often than the others is the Little Wood Satyr (r: Little Wood Satyr). Every year I find it near a grouping of ferns growing at the edge of a meadow bordering a huge stand of old Pine trees.

upper wings; this helps distinguish it from the others and I think it could be called the 'Many Eyed Brown'.
The picture at the bottom shows the Common Wood Nymph on the left and the Northen Pearly-eye to the right..A feature of the N. Pearly-eye is the interesting design on its underside upper wing. Some of the eyes are dark within yellowish/beige circles and others have a white dot within beige and black rings.
The Common Wood Nymph to the left is identified by the outstanding eye on its upper hindwing in its closed wing position.

What great photos! They look like something from a nature book or science textbook!
