Scientific name: Callimorpha quadripunctaria 
It is a day moth, with a wingspan between 52 and 65 mm. This moth tends to fly close by the hemp-agrimony (Eupatorium canabinum), a plant that is difficult to spot due to its cmouflage. The butterfly has only one yearly generation, flies from July until August, even until the beginning of September. It is a species of butterfly that lives in mesophilic meadows with a limestone substrate, nearby water courses of submountain and hill areas. The populations are more numerous in humid valleys that are rich in grassy vegetation.
