Pretty characteristic Idaea varying little but with a rare all-purple form ( purpuraria ). It is a Mediterranean, ranging from Spain to the Balkans. It lives in the south of France, from Ardèche to the coast and in the Southern Alps. Often common in dry wastelands, steppe areas. The caterpillar, certainly polyphagous, has mainly been observed on the dry leaves of Thymus .
