First sentence: The Violet Copper Lycaena helle, a blue-glimmering tiny jewel inhabiting misty, cool and moist habitats with its food-plant Polygonum bistorta, is one of the first butterflies flying in the first sunny days of spring in Europe. This little and highly endangered butterfly has fascinated many scientists over the years. To understand its habitat requirements, larval ecology and behavioural ecology, population structures, biogeography and to evaluate its recent status, manifold studies were elaborated to understand and conserve this butterfly species of the cold past.
