German or Carthusian Pinks (Dianthus
cartusianorum) and the German or Sticky Flycatch
(lychnis viscaria) are other
plants typical of this grassland where the sparse vegetation
allows the very fragrant wild thyme to grow.

This dry, sunny grassland is the ideal habitat for a number
of moths and butterflies such as the Spotted Tiger (Rhyparia
purpurata), the Jersey Tiger (Callimorpha
quadripunctaria) (Arctia
sp.), the Scarce Copper and the Small Copper (Lycaena
virgaureae and phlaeas).
