Also known as the small tortoiseshell butterfly, it is a butterfly widely distributed in Europe and parts of Asia. It feeds on plants of the Urticaceae family, hence its name. The wings are usually yellow and black markings, which are highly recognizable. The larvae feed on plants of the family Urticaceae, such as nettle and hemp. Survive in a wide variety of habitats. The adults hibernate in winter in March or April and are one of the first butterflies seen each spring. Females lay eggs in batches under the leaves of food. After about 10 days the eggs hatch and the caterpillars live in the silkscreen protection of the colony. The pupa is suspended from a plant stem or other object. Adult worms appear about two weeks later.
