Photographer's comment: Wingspan: 34 mm. The butterfly is quite rare here and this species in my opinion is quite reasonably included in the Red Book of the Moscow region: http://kkmo2.verhovye.ru/rb/bspozvon/quercusia_quercus.php The population in the area where this male was collected was irretrievably lost due to the destruction of the biotope.
