Small Tortoiseshell
Very pretty! Welcome to Project Noah Elena!
I have removed the general species names (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Nymphalinae) from the scientific name box as bayucca has provided the specific ID for this butterfly (aglais urticae) & that is all that should be in that box. The others are describing its family tree - telling us it is a butterfly, of the brushfoot family, and of a specific "tribe" in that family!
