host plant of Thecla betulae

[Walter Schön]

Hello,

I can add  Prunus padus where I found two eggs some years ago in South
Germany ( I did not check whether the larvae really were feeding of that)

Thecla betulae is a species which is of major interest for me - during the
winter months I am looking for the eggs of Thecla betulae and I find them
nearly everywhere.

I have a special page about Thecla betulae on my German Butterfly Site :

http://home.t-online.de/home/Walter.Schoen/
(normally you can reach it better via http://www.schmetterling-raupe.de ,
but there where problems with that address in the last days)

Choose  "Schmetterlinge" and then follow the link |Th.betulae| - there is an
English version of that page available as well.
