Foodplants and Eggs
In the UK this species uses several species of violet as foodplant. In dryer areas Dog Violets are used whilst in wetter areas the foodplant is Bog Violet (Viola palustris)or Marsh Violet growing amongst Purple Moor-grass or Tufted Hair-grass. They prefer the damper areas more often. They also occur amongst bracken, where this is shading the appropriate violet species.

Famous quotes containing the word eggs:
“One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called “weasel words.” When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a “weasel word” after another there is nothing left of the other.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
