Euphydryas maturna habitat in a commercial, thinned pine-dominated forest with ca. 30-year old trees, and in a clear-cut edge. This kind of forest habitat is probably suitable after thinning for several years, but longer than spruce-dominated forests (Fig. 3). Also, edge habitats in these relatively dry habitats overgrow somewhat slower than in moister edges (Fig. 2).
