Base gallery. Upperside. Pinned specimen.

Photo, and identified by: Vasiliy Feoktistov. Image without retouching at the website

Date and time, location shooting/catching: 2012-07-23 00:00:00, Russia, Vladimir reg., Petushinsky distr., near Starye Omutishchi village. leg. Feoktistov V.I.

Photographer's comment: The main condition for the existence of a species in my region is the presence of a forage plant in the biotope: Broomberry Cytisus sp. In the Meshcherskaya lowland, where broom grows everywhere in pine forests, the butterfly is found en masse and gives 2 generations. The species is listed in the "Red Book of the Moscow Region" (3rd category. A rare species.), which I consider absurd, since it is necessary first of all to protect biotopes. If there is a broom, there will also be a butterfly.
