Discover the area in which this secret butterfly lives. New information about the ecology and the biology of this butterfly has been filmed between 2006 and 2009. It was found that the most important host plant wasn't the ash tree but in fact two species of Phillyrea (P. latifolia et P. angustifolia). Remarkably the females laid their eggs on small bushes that would be flooded in winter during strong rainfals. The caterpillars are myrmicophile and have tight relation with ants of the genus Lasius (L. cinereus, L. niger and L. emarginatus).
