About the animal

A butterfly occurring across Europe, Asia and North America in habitats ranging from woodland to tundra. [2]

Natural-history context from Frontier’s account. Wild behaviour and diet do not verify the game’s social limits, food items or breeding mechanics.

Before building

Use these checks when the game is available. They are planning suggestions, not tested requirements.

  • Check exhibit settings and population limits before adding animals.
  • Record social limits, feeding costs and enrichment from the species panel; biome tags do not verify these values.
