Polygonia egea
A rather local species from hot dry places in southern Europe. It frequents walls, cliffs and rock faces where the larval foodplant grows - these places are often extremely hot in summer! Hibernates as an adult, emerging in early spring.
Cliffs or rocky places, often with open woodland or scrub nearby. Spotted in Seih-Sou, the suburban forest of Thessaloniki, Greece.
