MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY of the small heath buterrfly! The small heath is diurnal and flies with a noticeable fluttering flight pattern near the ground. It rests with closed wings when not in flight. It is widespread in colonies throughout the grasslands of Eurasia and north-western Africa, preferring drier habitats than other Coenonympha. However, habitat loss caused by human activities has led to a decline in populations in some locations.
