Middle Atlas, Morocco, August 2019
Field notes and information
Only from Morocco and Algeria. Very local and uncommon.
Identification & Similar species: No similar species fly in north Africa.
Distribution & Flight: The main mountain ranges of Morocco and northeast Algeria. Double brooded in June/ July and then August/ September. However, we failed to find the species in early September where we'd previously found it in May - the site had become extremely dry and devoid of flowers.
Habitat & Behaviour: Hot dry flowery places with stones. Trees or scrub nearby.
