The Jutta Arctic has a wing span of 3.5 to 6.0 cm. and usually flies very fast. Its upperside is dark gray-brown with yellow and orange smudges and black eye spots. The underside is lighter in colour and mottled.
Where you have any wet tundra or spruce bogs, especially Black Spruce and Tamarack bogs, you might find these butterflies. The females scatter their eggs near sedge plants. The caterpillars are pale green with green and whitish stripes and reddish coloured hairs, and a green to brown head with rows of brownish dots. Adults feed on flower nectar.
In the Algonquin Highlands, Jutta Arctic flies from late May to mid-June.
