It mainly occurs in relative humid habitats, such as woodland edges, woodland clearings and grasslands, but also found at he edge of heathland and in gardens and parks. Cardamine pratensis and Alliaria petiola are mostly used as larval foodplants.\nThe species flies in three generations and hibernates as a pupa. Due to prolonged emergence from the pupa, the different generations overlap and butterflies can be seen almost continuously from the end of April until the beginning of September.\nDistribution: Throughout Europe.$
