Hábitat: Forests
The Little Wood Satyr is a small to medium-sized butterfly, typically dull brown or grayish-brown, often with two prominent black eyespots ringed in yellow on each hindwing. Its forewings also feature smaller, less distinct eyespots. The mottled undersides help it blend seamlessly with tree bark and dried leaves.
