Caradrina aspersa (Rambur, 1834)

Host plants:
The larvae are polyphagous in the grass and herb layer.

Habitat:
Caradrina aspersa inhabits stony mountain slopes, limestone grasslands and other dry and warm habitats up to above 2000m asl.

Life cycle:
The moths occur in one or two generations between June and September. I met the adults quite numerously in a light trap (Beck/Wagner) in Bulgarian Pirin mountains in 1900m asl in late July 2013.

Remarks:
Caradrina aspersa occurs from N-Africa across South and parts of Central Europe (e.g. S-Switzerland, W-Germany) to Asia Minor and the Near East.
