Scolitantides vicrama (Moore, 1865)

Host plants:
Thymus and probably some other Lamiaceae.

Habitat:
Scolitantides vicrama inhabits nutrient-poor grasslands, pastures, sandy areas, rocky slopes, open scrub and similar places.

Life cycle:
The pupa overwinters. The adults fly mostly in two generations from April to June and again in July and August. Oviposition takes place on flower buds. The larvae feed on flowers and fruits. Pupation occurs on the soil.

Remarks:
Scolitantides vicrama is distributed from eastern central Europe (NE-Italy, E-Austria, E-Germany) across eastern and southeastern Europe to China. In Europe, it is still found especially common in parts of Romania and in the Balkan Peninsula including many Greek islands.
