Would this be a Satyr, an Eyed Brown or a Wood Nymph? I'm sorry, I photograph them but have the absolutely worst time trying to identify them - even with my books! Thanks so much.

This here is a Common Wood-Nymph (Cerycyonis pegala).

And don't worry about your identifying skills. They will get better in time, as long as you keep practicing!
