Comment: Observations have been documented from 10 localities located in 9 1× 1 km UTM squares, concentrAted between September And October, likely due to the species’ dispersive movements. This is the first record for Ceuta. In October, individuals were observed along the coast flying southwards. Given the absence of its larval host plant, Capparis spinosa L., reproduction in Ceuta is considered impossible, and all recorded specimens are assumed to be migrants. Adults have been observed nectaring on D. viscosa , M. suaveolens , and S. rosmarinus .
