roads in woods at Waldeck (Speyer) ; in dry deciduous woodlands in 

 the Dessau Haide (Stange) ; on the forest roads, ridings in woods, 

 bare places and meadows in the Mosigkau Haide district (Gillmer) ; 

 common in woods near Miihlhausen (Speyer) ; in meadows near woods 

 and in bushy places, locally, among the foothills of Silesia (Doring) ; 

 in meadows near woods at Dresden (Steinert) ; in small meadows 

 near woods, or on the borders of woods, near Regensburg (Schmid) ; 

 in the woodland meadows between Deuringen and Strassberg (Freyer) ; 

 in open places near Kempten (von Kolb) ; everywhere in the forest 

 roads in Wiirttem berg (Keller) ; in the valleys of the Black Forest, but 

 not ascending into the mountains (Reutti) ; in the plains and foothills 

 of the Salzburg district, haunting the flowery and grassy mountain 

 meadows, the meadows near woods, etc. (Richter) ; in the Tyrol, it is to 

 be found from the lower levels to the lower alpine region, not 

 rare in the lower valleys and the lower forest region (Weiler). 

 Its connection with damp situations is occasionally noted, e.g., common 

 in damp places in the Oberharz (Hoffmann) ; in damp deciduous 

 woods near Rudolstadt, and on the borders of the Beuche (Krieghoff) ; 

 in damp shady roads in woods, or on the borders of woods, near 

 Zeitz-on-Elster (Wilde) ; in damp meadows near Dessau (Richter) ; 

 in damp deciduous woods on the foothills of the Province of Silesia 

 (Wocke) ; and Lowe observes that, in his experience in Switzerland, 

 Austria and Italy, although the species has usually only occurred to him 

 singly, it appears to like a certain amount of shade and damp 

 situations. Eversmann says that it prefers damp grassy places in 

 woods in the Lower Volga district, and Caradja that it haunts 

 openings in woods, and lowlying grounds in Roumania. Scudder 

 says that the butterfly is most frequently found to haunt the flowers by 

 roadsides, passing through thickets or woods, especially the latter, if they 

 are open enough to let the sun enter freely ; at Copper Cliff, Ontario, 

 Harrington notes it as abundant along the short wood road leading up 

 along the brook to the meadow; Bean says that, at Laggan (Rocky 

 Mountains of Alberta) it chiefly frequents grassy meadows along the 

 Bow river, at an altitude of 4800ft. -5000ft. ; and Mrs. Nicholl observes 

 that the insect is common in British Columbia, and in all the valleys 

 along the United States' boundary up to 6000 ft., the examples not 

 varying at all from European specimens.
