The Rosy Grizzled Skipper has a characteristic anvil-shaped spot on the underside of its hindwing. These butterflies can be seen on different types of grassy vegetation and on rocky slopes. Different foodplants are used in different parts of its range. In Switzerland the eggs are laid on rockroses (Helianthemum spp.) and cinquefoils (Potentilla spp.), in Spain, mallows (Malva spp.) are used. In most places, the Rosy Grizzled Skipper has two broods a year and in some places three. It hibernates as a caterpillar.
