The meadow brown is mainly brown with washed-out orange patches on the forewings. The best way to identify the 'brown' butterflies is by looking at the eyespots on their wings

$Coenonympha tullia is an extremely rare resident. At present, it is limited to one large and three small populations in the provinces of Drenthe and Friesland. On the Dutch Red List is it now listed as “critically endangered”.\nIt has been declining since the beginning of the 20th century.\nLarge Heath used to occur on practically all of the raised bogs in the Netherlands, but peat extraction, drainage and land reclamation have destroyed more and more of its habitat.\nIt flies in one generation from the beginning of June until mid-July and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar in large tussocks of Eriophorum vaginatum, its larval foodplant.\n\nThis Picture is made in “het Fochtloërveen” on the border of Friesland and Drenthe (the Netherlands) in June 2018.$

This is a relatively-common butterfly that is unmistakable when seen at rest - the rings on the hindwings giving this butterfly its common name.

$The Scotch argus (Erebia aethiops) is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.\nDescription:\nErebia aethiops has a wingspan of 42–46 mm. Antennae are clavate (club shaped). The background colour of the wings varies from dark brown to black brown, with reddish-yellow bands, black eyespots with white pupils and greyish wing fringes, weakly chequered in the females. On the forewing there are three or four eyespots, usually two apical plus a third detached, while on the hindwings there are four or five. \nThe underside of the hindwings shows a whitish or cream banding but there is a slightly marked sexual dimorphism. The egg is oval shaped, with 20 to 28 longitudinal ribs. The mature caterpillar is yellow brown, with a brown head. The pupae are yellow brown and relatively short and compact, reaching a length of 12.5–124.5 millimeters.\nBiology:\nThis species is univoltine. Adults fly from June to August. The eggs are laid singly on the leaves of grass. The larvae hatch after two weeks. The hibernating larva is reported to feed on Agrostis, Dactylis, Poa annua, Bromus erectus and other grasses. In Scotland the main host plants are purple moor-grass (Molinia caerulea) and blue moor-grass (Sesleria caerulea).\nDistribution and Habitat:\nErebia aethiops is widespread in the Palearctic realm, including most of Europe, the Alps and Apennines, Balkans, Asia Minor, the Urals, and the Caucasus. In Europe and Russia, these butterflies prefer the edge of pine forests and tall damp grassland in hills and mountains up to 2400 m (source Wikipedia).\n\nThe Picture is made along a small River in the Eifel (Germany) in halfway August 2021.$
