Chestnut Heath

The size and number of ocelli on the underside wings varies considerably according to locality. The caterpillar when fully grown is pale green, with a prominent white stripe below the spiracles, and a series of thin faint whitish stripes along the back. The chrysalis is of the usual Satyrine shape, pale green in colour, with a peppering of tiny white dots. The inner margins of the wing cases are white, edged with black.
