Yellow-legged Tortoiseshell Nymphalis xanthomelas
A very handsome and richly coloured Large Tortoiseshell which occurs in parts of Europe and in the Far East. Foodplants: Willows, Sallows, Elm, and probably many other trees, including those for polychloros. The butterfly, caterpillar and pupae are all brighter and grander than polycholoros. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
