Ábrahám Levente – Farkas Sándor: Butterflies along the river Drava, 2008

A characteristic group within the family of whites is that of the yellow or orange coloured butterflies whose cater­pillars develop on herbaceous plants. A common species along Drava is pale clouded yellow (Colitis hyale) [48]. Its caterpillars feeding on grasses, the great banded grayling (Brintesia circe) [49] occurs in similar, semi-arid or dry habitats. Adult specimens fly in the second half of the summer season.
