The High Brown Fritillary occurs on woodland edges and in woodland clearings, where there is lush, rough vegetation with plenty of nectar plants. The eggs are laid on the leaves of violets (Viola spp.) and also on the bark of trees with violets growing near them. The tiny caterpillar remains within the egg during the winter, and from about the beginning of March, leaves the egg and starts feeding on violet leaves. It pupates on a twig or on a leaf close to the ground. The High Brown Fritillary has one generation a year.
