Imago Habitus and Differences from alike species
- The length of the front wing is 1.5 cm, on the underside of each of the rear ones there is a blurred white sash. The color of the top is ochre-yellow, the underparts are the same yellow, only even brighter. A distinctive feature from other species of this genus is the absence of a lead-colored line on the underside of the hindwings. [85].
General info about Imago
- Habitats: clearings, water meadows, and roadside ditches. The flight is slow and uneven; the butterfly often alights on flowers and grass stems. [85].
Imago lifespan
- Common hayloft can produce up to three generations — in May, July and at the end of August-September. In some places, it can fly both in April and October. [85].
General info about Larva
- The larvae are green, with a double whitish dorsal line. [85].
Larva food plants / other food objects
- Gramineae. [28].
- Различные злаки — мятлик, гребневик, белоус и другие. [85].
Larva lifespan
- Coenonympha pamphilus caterpillars are found in August-April (first generation), in June (second) and again in August (third generation). [85].
Pupa

- The caterpillar overwinters. The second variant is that the common hayloft can overwinter at various stages of development [Moukha, 1979] . [85].
