Yes, definitely! It is reported only from Northern Africa and mountane areas of the southern Iberian peninsula. Sometimes you find some enclosed colonies which were quite apart from another one.

Thank you so much Bayucca. Well, I'm really lacking a decent butterfly guide but would you say this is an interesting species?
