The Dewy Ringlet is a common species. In Scandinavia, it is mostly found in damp places where grass and bushes are growing, often near small streams, and in more mountainous areas on grassy slopes. In Central Europe, the butterflies occur on stony, alpine meadows with a vegetation of short grasses and dwarf shrubs. These butterflies have a characteristic, undulating flight. This gives the impression that they are not using their hindwings, and are just about to fall to the ground. The female lays her eggs on different grasses, such as fescues (Festuca spp.), meadow-grasses (Poa spp.), Blue Moor-grass (Sesleria albicans), or Mat-grass (Nardus stricta). In most parts of its range, the caterpillars hibernate twice.
