The Large Heath[1] or Common Ringlet[2] (Coenonympha tullia) is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It flies in variety of grassy habitats, including roadsides, woodland edges and clearings, prairies, bogs, and arctic and alpine taiga and tundra.[2] It is a poor flyer, but can sometimes be found along ditches seeking new grounds. It is common to northern Europe and Asia and across North America.[2]
