Am off to the Midi next week; in the Aude region about 40 miles inland.
Just wondering about the effect of height on the species available.
The immediate area has hills up to 400m. Which species would appear if i looked further afield up to, say, 800m ?

I wouldn’t have thought there would be a lot of difference between 400m and 800m but higher than that, say 1000m+, is the start of the range of a number of altitude species, especially the Erebia ringlets. If you have the opportunity to drop down into Ariege, there are quite good spots around Ax-les-Thermes.
