Latin name: Ladoga camilla
Size: Wingspan approximately 60mms.
Distribution: Found in southern England and up to the Midlands.
Months seen: June to September.
Habitat: Woodlands.
Food: Nectar.
Special features: Nectar from bramble flowers are a favourite food, but the females lay their eggs on honeysuckle leaves, the caterpillars food plant.
The caterpillars are green with reddish-brown hairs. They hibernate from autumn through to the following summer, when they pupate. After approximately two weeks the butterfly emerges.
