Marbled White butterfly (*Melanargia galathea*) resting on a grass stem in the Sussex South Downs. Its wings display a striking black-and-white checkered pattern. The background consists of blurred tall grass, indicating a natural habitat typical of chalk and limestone grasslands. The butterfly's delicate antennae are visible, and its wings are slightly worn, suggesting it is in its later life stage. This butterfly is commonly found in Europe, particularly in sunny, open areas.
