Э – Энеида ютта

The Jutta Arctic, or Eneida ‘yutta’, is a day-flying velvet butterfly most often found in northern regions; it’s especially attached to bogs and marshes. It’s distinguished by black eye-like spots with yellow rings on its wings. When the Jutta Arctic rests with its wings folded, this colouration makes it virtually invisible against the natural background.
