The Duchess of Burgundy Butterfly is small, Orange and Brown, like a tiny fritillary. It can be found from late May to early July, on two main habitats: chalk and limestone grassland with plenty of shelter from scrub or slopes or clearings on ancient woodland sites. Its distribution is much reduced over recent decades, with its remaining strongholds in central southern England. Many colonies are subject of intense effort by conservationists to prevent these spices from becoming extinct.
