In the Alps — up to 1500 m.Despite the fact that the ranges of Limenitis camilla and L. reducta largely overlap, the former is usually found further north than the latter. [85].

Imago Habitus and Differences from alike species

The length of the front wing is 3 cm. The top of the wings is black with white stripes. A similar appearance — Limenitis reducta-is distinguished by the presence of one, rather than two rows of black dots on the underside of the wings. In addition, the base of the underside of the hindwings is whitish-blue. [85].

The meeting places are wet water meadows and sparsely coniferous deciduous forests, which again makes the species in question similar to L. reducta. It usually flies singly, not in flocks. [85].

Imago lifespan

aet one generation - from mid-June to mid-August. At the same time, L. reducta is also found. [85].

General info about Larva

The larva is yellowish-green, with maroon spines and white dots. And with a red head. [85].

Larva food plants / other food objects

Lonicera, Symphoricarpus. [28].
