Description
Leptotes pirithous is a small butterfly with a wingspan of 21–29 mm in males and 24–30 mm in females. The uppersides of the wings are purple bluish in males, bluish brown in female. The undersides are dark beige striped with white lines. The hindwings show marginal orange and black spots and two small tails. For the design of the undersides of the wings they can be confused with Lampides boeticus and Cacyreus marshalli. These butterflies fly from February to November depending on the location. They are regular migrants.
The larvae feed on the flowers and fruits of Fabaceae, Rosaceae and Plumbaginaceae species, including Plumbago capensis, Indigofera, Rynchosia, Vigna, Burkea, Mundulea, Melilotus, Crataegus, Quercus suber, Medicago sativa, Trifolium alexandrinum, Arachis hypogaea, Lythrum, Calluna, Genista, Dorycnium, Lythrum salicaria, Calluna vulgaris, Onobrychis viciifolia, Ulex and Melilotus alba. A life cycle takes about four to eight weeks, depending on the temperature.
Lang's Short-tailed Blue is a common sight in Mediterranean countries, including the Iberian Peninsula, but from central France northwards it is only a very occasional sight. Apart from a single sighting in 1938 this butterfly has not been recorded in either Britain or Ireland.

Class: Insecta
Order: Lepidoptera
Family: Nymphalidae
Genus: Vanessa

Binomial name
Vanessa atalanta
Family: Nymphalidae
distribution: The Red Admiral migrates northwards from the Mediterranean, regularily spreading throughout Europe, with the adults arriving in Ireland from about mid-May onwards where their distribution is common and widespread.
Habitat: Found almost anywhere, in hedgerows, woodland margins, gardens, waste ground and other places where its foodplants grow.
Larval Food Plant: Common Nettle Urtica dioica
Flight Time: May and June
August and September/October
Hibernation: It has been established that, in shelterd areas in mild winters, this butterfly is capable of surviving over winter as a caterpillar, and will under go pupation in spring. It is not considered that Red Admiral is capable of hibernating in our climate, and that early season sightings may be due to fresh migrations. However, further work is required to elucidate the status of these sightings.
Life Cycle of the red admiral
Ovum:
The pale green eggs measure c. 0.8 mm in height and turn darker in colour during maturation. They are laid singly
on the upperside of leaves, usually the terminal leaves of the Common Nettle.
Hatching takes place in c. 5-10 days in suitable weather.
Larva:
The adult larva measures up to 36 mm in length and occur in several colour forms.
The dark form is greyish-black and all the segments have branched spines of the body colour.
The paler form is greyish-green and all the segments have branched spines of the body colour.
All have pale-yellow markings on the abdominal segments close to the spiracles. The head is black.
The earliest larvae occur in June but are commonest in August and September.
The young larva constructs a tent from a nettle leaf which is folded over and held together by silk threads,
in which it shelters and emerges to feed. As it feeds and grows it constructs larger tents until fully grown
when it goes on to pupate when conditions are favourable.
Pupa:
Pupation takes place from July onwards, the pupa forming inside the tent and suspended from a silk
pad on the roof by means of anal claspers. This stage lasting c.17 days.
Adult:
The offsprings of the immigrant butterflies arriving in May and June may contribute to the larger
immigrant numbers arriving in August and September and even into October.
They have a strong and powerful flight with intermittent gliding.
They feed on flower nectar, juices of fermenting fruit and sap from injured trees.
None are able to survive the Irish winters in any state.

This rather large migrant is mainly dark brown with bright red stripes.
The underside has colourful patterns.
It is attracted to gardens where it feeds on buddlea, several other flowering species and also over-ripe fruit.
