Yes! Just take wonderful pictures, that's all you have to do! For the rest, there are plenty of folks around which can help you to find an ID! That's one of the purposes of Project Noah: Enjoy and learn!

Thanks everyone for comments and suggestions! I don't know anything about insects, I just take pictures. I should study a bit of entomology I guess. But fortunately there are a lot of experts in this great site.

Ciao e benvenuto!! I think this is Trivia not Melitaea didyma which is almost identical and found at the same places like the Melitaea trivia. The spots on the hindwing are in Trivia more triangular-like than in Didyma where these spots are more round. If you have un specialista dei farfalle I would ask him for a final ID.
