Ein Schachbrett oder auch Damenbrett (Melanargia galathea) besucht auf einer Ackerbrache eine Wiesen-Flockenblume (Centaurea jacea). Diese Art ist weit verbreitet und hinsichtlich ihrer Flügelzeichnung relativ variabel. Allerdings ist dieses schachbrettartige Muster immer zu erkennen. Das Schachbrett bevorzugt trockene Standorte wie z. B. Ackerbrachen, doch ich habe sie auch schon auf Feuchtwiesen gesehen, wo sie u. a. den Teufelsabbiss besuchten. Die nachtaktiven Raupen dieses Falters überwintern und ernähren sich von verschiedenen Gräsern. Die Weibchen lassen in der Vegetation sitzend die relativ großen Eier einfach auf den Boden fallen.
