Meadow Browns are common to Europe, Asia and North Africa during the summer months. Their habitats include meadows and grasslands. These butterflies have wings that are primarily brown with a distinctive eye spot on each forewing. The wingspan typically ranges from 4 to 6 centimeters. The caterpillars of Meadow Browns primarily feed on grasses which are plenty in the meadow habitats. The brown wings with eye spots help meadow browns to blend into the grassy environments, providing some protection from predators. The lifecycle comprises of four stages - egg, Larval Stage (Caterpillar), Pupal Stage (Chrysalis) and Adult Stage (Butterfly). Meadow Browns is a species of least concern in terms of conservation status and play a vital role in pollination.
