The Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa) is a species of butterfly in the Nymphalidae family.

A vagrant to Britain, this species is easy to identify. This species has dull red-brown wings, with the outer edges of the wings bright yellow. There are a row of blue dots after the yellow border. On the leading edge of the forewing there are two large yellow marks followed by a series of small yellow markings. The underside is again a dark blue-grey, with a white border.
