Field Notes

Description:

Los colores de las alas los utiliza para protegerse de sus potenciales depredadores. Así, cuando se posa sobre tierra mantiene las alas plegadas, mostrando colores ocres; sobre la flor despliega las alas, de colores negros, naranjas y blancos. Es de vuelo inquieto, alcanzando a veces alturas considerables.

Notes:

La oruga se alimenta de ortigas (urtica urens, urtica dioica, parietaria officinalis, parietaria debilis)
