Красивые бабочки.
Beautiful pair, Jopy!
I am glad you found it Jopy! I could not decide between E. medusa and E. oeme. Since you IDed it I've read that E. medusa has brown antennna tips, so I've learned something new. http://www.eurobutterflies.com/species_p...
Thank you, daniele and Emilie, my field guide says that this is E. medusa as I IDed it... :)
Looks like Erebia ligea.

I'm puzzled by this one Jopy! Great find.
