Lasiommata maera orientalis
we've seen these 2 butterflies on the pavement, at the street. at a parking place. one was staying on the ground, the other one was hovering near it, pushing it from time to time, as if trying to convince the first to move from there. but apparently the first one couldn't fly. eventually I took it on my finger, and placed it on a nearby shrub. I don't know what was the problem, and I hope I helped them...

The Large Wall Brown (Lasiommata maera) is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. The species is common in continental Europe. Though it is an avid flyer It is seldom seen on flight in strong wind. Its preferred habitats are edges of the forests and unmanaged clearings on forested areas.
