Family: Satyridae Flight Time: July - August Size: 48-54mm Altitude: 0-1800m |
| The Arran brown has a delightful white band
across its underwing, which makes it easy to identify. They prefer
relatively low altitudes, we saw them up to about 2000m in Switzerland,
where both pictures were taken.
Named after the Isle of Arran, where they have reputedly been caught in the past, together with locations in Scotland. No modern evidence exists of any colonies in Scotland. |
