General comments:
Widespread resident.

The Satellite takes its name from the two small 'satellites' in orbit around the reniform stigma of the forewing and this latter marking may be either pure white or various shades of yellow. The relative frequency of the two forms does not appear to have been recorded in Hertfordshire, but it can be said with certainty that the notion of a colour change taking place during hibernation is a myth without foundation.
