Zerynthia polyxena is a western Palaearctic species listed in the EU Habitats Directive (Natura 2000). This study describes its oviposition and larval preferences at two ruderal
habitats in southern Slovakia, near its northern distribution margin. The females preferred oviposition at tall and richly-leafed shoots of the regionally used single host plant Aristolochia clematitis L. Caterpillars were generally located at the same positions as egg batches, mainly at the underside of leaves of richly-leafed plants.
