Hi Serhiy.

I think your moth is actually Archiearis parthenias, a day active species (Geometridae) that feeds as a larva on Birch (Betula pendula).

Yes, this is most interesting and thanks very much for providing the links. I managed to find a very useful site relating to French butterflies by navigating my way around:

My dream coming true. Gonepteryx rhamni visited for feeding on Tussilago farfara flower. There are a lot of flower fields, but it visits only alone one in deep woodland.

Haha, our church is similar :D

Regarding that Large Blue (Maculinea arion) mentioned in your mapping, do you have a dying colony in there or is the pasture so intense?

Yes. your wooden churches (kostelik iz dreva) is similar, because it is one culture of one "MAGNA RUTHENIA", Rusiny or Slavish ancient country :D
More info in Russian directly at http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/2673728/post80184770/

Still not busy with "dying colony", only study environment of the Large Blue and other endangered European species. The conditions is good for the population, to prevent scrub overgrow locals burn dry grass every spring time. "Grass burning" is not my philosophy, I prefer moving to manage and save open butterfly habitats.

It is always good to learn more about such places (with the help of Google Translate!) I am pleased to see that some ancient buildings like this have survived through all the bad times of the 20th century.

Gonepteryx rhamni is always a welcome indication of spring of here in UK but, alas, we very rarely see Nymphalis antiopa.
