Called Speckled wood in english and in spanish Mariposa de los muros.Normally found in woodlands where it either defends a territory(male)or patroling a grassfield.The,eyes,on the bottom of the wings are probably for predator confusion.The caterpillars are green and feed on a variation of grasses.They either overwinter in pupa or half adult larvea,which gives adult appearance thru the year.From Galicia.
