So here are a couple of shots of a Speckled Wood butterfly. If you look closely you will see that the eyes are actually hairy just as part of the surface of the wings are also hairy.
This specimen was seen at Bodnant in North Wales and being in the north this accounts for the brown colouring, southern varieties have a brighter, orange colouring but despite the different colouration they are the same species.
