[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Found in my garden, at Origanum vulgare.
A very widespread species.
It spends the winter in southern Europe, migrating north every year.
Young caterpillars eat and live within a shelter of folded leaves; older caterpillars make a nest of leaves tied together with silk.
The larva feeds nettles
Adults prefer sap flows on trees, fermenting fruit, and bird droppings.Flowers visiting only when these are not available.
