Seeking cool conditions? Haven't they been blown off coarse. They normally head to the Alps from late Sept to shelter in caves from the summer heat. The other attraction is the flowering gum trees to fuel their flight.

To separate the 2 possible species we need to be able to see all the red patches beside the inner margins of the forewings, 5 = Utetheisa pulchelloides
