Large tortoiseshell

Nymphalis polychloros

Description:

Just planted a small buddleja in my garden and within a day butterflies find their way to its nectar, including this nice species.

Notes:

I'm pretty sure it is the Large tortoiseshell, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Apparently this butterfly is rather rare, so I find myself lucky to attract it
