Hipparchia semele is a scarce resident. Contrary to elsewhere in Europe, the species does not occur on limestone grassland, preferring instead dry Heathland, dry grasslands and the coastal Dunes. It prefers an open landscape rich in structure, with patches of heather, grass, bare soil and an occasional bush or tree.
Family: Nymphalidae
