Pyrgus Malvoides
''Pyrgus malvoides'', the Southern Grizzled Skipper, is a species of skipper (family Hesperiidae). Description The wingspan of this butterfly is 24–26 mm. ''Pyrgus malvoides'' cannot be distinguished from '' Pyrgus malvae'' by external characteristics, but this is quite possible on the basis of the genital structures. From the other species of the genus '' Pyrgus'', both species can be clearly differentiated by the presence of the mostly clear submarginal points on the upper side of the wing. Range ''Pyrgus malvoides'' is distributed from Portugal and Spain via southern and central France, southern Switzerland (south of the main Alpine ridge) and Austria (Vorarlberg, Tyrol) to Italy and Istria. Habitat According to previous knowledge, ''Pyrgus malvoides'' colonizes various fresh and above all moist habitats in the Alps if these have structures that are favorable to the microclimate, such as open ground on gravel, rocks, obstructions from cattle kicking or erosion, ...

Skipper (butterfly)
Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea, the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.Ackery et al. (1999) Description and systematics Traditionally, the Hesperiidae were placed in a monotypic superfamily Hesperioidea, because they are morphologically distinct from other Rhopalocera (butterflies), which mostly belong to the typical butterfly superfamily Papilionoidea.

Larva
A larva (; plural larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults. Animals with indirect development such as insects, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle. The larva's appearance is generally very different from the adult form (''e.g.'' caterpillars and butterflies) including different unique structures and organs that do not occur in the adult form. Their diet may also be considerably different. Larvae are frequently adapted to different environments than adults. For example, some larvae such as tadpoles live almost exclusively in aquatic environments, but can live outside water as adult frogs. By living in a distinct environment, larvae may be given shelter from predators and reduce competition for resources with the adult population. Animals in the larval stage will consume food to fuel their transition into the adult form. In some organisms like polychaetes and barnacles, adults are immobil ...

Potentilla Reptans
''Potentilla reptans'', known as the creeping cinquefoil, European cinquefoil or creeping tormentil, is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. A creeping perennial plant native to Eurasia and Northern Africa, ''Potentilla reptans'' has been naturalized elsewhere. Its trailing stems root at the nodes, and leaves are on long stalks. The plant blooms between June and August with yellow flowers that are about 2 cm in diameter and have five heart-shaped petals. ''P. reptans'', which can be easily confused with silverweed, often grows in crushed masonry in the South of England.

Fragaria Vesca
''Fragaria vesca'', commonly called the wild strawberry, woodland strawberry, Alpine strawberry, Carpathian strawberry or European strawberry, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the rose family that grows naturally throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, and that produces edible fruits. The Latin specific epithet ''vesca'' means "thin, feeble". Description Five to eleven soft, hairy white flowers are borne on a green, soft fresh-hairy stalk that usually lifts them above the leaves. The light-green leaves are trifoliate (in threes) with toothed margins. The plant spreads mostly by means of runners ( stolons), but the seeds are viable and establish new populations. Taxonomy Vilmorin-Andrieux (1885) makes a distinction between wild or wood strawberries (''Fragaria vesca'') and alpine strawberries (''Fragaria alpina''), a distinction which is not made by most seed companies or nurseries, which usually sell ''Fragaria vesca'' as "alpine strawberry".

Potentilla Neumanniana
''Potentilla neumanniana'', the spring cinquefoil or spotted cinquefoil, is a perennial flowering plant in the rose family (Rosaceae). It may grow up to the height of 5–15 cm. It was first scientifically described by H.G.L. Reichenbach in 1832. P.F.A. Ascherson later called it ''P. tabernaemontani'', a name which is now invalid. The name ''P. verna'' was misapplied to this species; as originally described by Linnaeus, it actually refers to the alpine cinquefoil (''P. crantzii''). This is a fairly nondescript species of cinquefoil. Its typical five-fingered leaves and — in early spring — five-petalled yellow flowers are borne on low-lying stems. As its common name implies, in most of its range it is one of the first cinquefoils to bloom. It can grow in dry, marginal habitat, such as roadsides, dry meadows, and talus. Thus it can be used for rock garden A rock garden, also known as a rockery and formerly as a rockwork, is a garden, or more often a part ...
