Graslin, 1850
False Dewy Ringlet
Description:
The False Dewy Ringlet looks very like the Dewy Ringlet (E. pandrose) but, as far as it is known, the two species do not occur in the same sort of habitat. This species mostly occurs on steep, rocky slopes with patches of grassy vegetation.
The caterpillars feed on various meadow-grasses (Poa spp.) and fescues (Festuca spp.). It is single-brooded and hibernates in the larval stage.
Habitat:
Alpine grasslands
Inland cliffs and exposed rocks
Humid grasslands
