from
Wikipedia
Throughout most of their range they have one generation per year, overwintering as larvae.
In warm regions they have two generations per year.
In her lifetime, a female lays several clusters of up to 200 eggs on the underside of the larval food plant.
She feeds on nectar ( with her proboscis ) from surrounding flowering plants.
The larvae feed on several species of plants in the genera Plantago and Veronica.
They live in gregarious family groups in characteristic silken webs (" nests ") throughout most of their larval stage.
When alarmed, a feeding group of Glanville Fritillary larvae will jerk their heads in unison, probably to distract their enemies.
