Montes Universales, Spain, August 2003

 

Provence, France, July 2003

 

This butterfly is only found in Spain, southern France, a few places in Italy and in north west Africa. It loves hot dry places where it can be found skulking about the burnt up grasses at the hottest part of the day. They are small and can be easily overlooked.
