The Scotch Argus of Arnside Knott
(Excerpt) The Scotch Argus is a medium-sized butterfly with a wingspan of roughly 44 to 52 mm. Both sexes are predominantly dark chocolate-brown and their upperwings carry a distinctive band of bright orange-brown containing a row of black eyespots, each typically centred with a small white pupil. In flight the butterfly appears almost black, flashing its orange bands as it moves.
