Essex skipper butterfly perched on a red clover flower in a summer meadow.

A delicate Essex skipper butterfly, scientifically known as Thymelicus lineola, rests gracefully on a blooming Trifolium pratense (red clover) flower. The soft orange and brown tones of the butterfly's wings contrast beautifully with the vibrant pink and green hues of the clover, capturing the essence of a serene meadow scene.
