Argynnis pandora ([Denis et Schiffermüller], 1775)

Irregular migrant (possibly established?). To my knowledge, there was no this century records before 2009. During 2009, a specimen was collected by A. Kovalchuk (June 14, Zmijev distr., st. 829 km). Later, it appeared that migrant specimens developed local populations, which were observed from August 12 to September 7. In 2010, the species again appeared in our region; it was observed in various localities from July 21 to September 25.

Habitat: steppes, meadows, forest openings.
