The Brown Hairsreak, Thecla betulae (Linné, 1758), Family lycaenidae : Theclinae, In the South of France
The Brown Hairstreak is the largest of the Hairstreaks and flies in one long generation from early-July to mid-October.
In Provence, this discrete butterfly is very local and fairly rare, certainly due to the fact that it spends most of its time in the tree canopies. Until 1999, this butterfly has scarcely been observed in the Var.
