This is because they are both available in a variety of sizes with multiple wing patterns. ''L. purpuraria'' and the other four species within the ''Lythria'' family have a very difficult genitalia structure, which is complicated to analyze and study. Adults are on wing from April to June and again from July to September. It is a day-flying species. There are two generations per year.
