Good job Malcom! :)

I think I found it here: http://lepidopteragallery.org/Phaiogramm... so you were correct, it has been recorded from Spain, further north along the same coast.

Hi Malcom! The two butterflies are very similar. If the following recognition are correct, has been spotted in Spain: http://www.flickr.com/photos/radio_ga_ga...

but I could be wrong...

Hi valentinezza, Phaiogramma etruscaria has never been recorded from Spain so is very unlikely although not impossible.

Comunitat Valenciana, Spain
