Small Tortoiseshell

Aglais urticae L.

Description:

Orange butterfly with black and white spots on the upper parts of the wings and a row of blue spots along the rear end of the wings.

Habitat:

Open areas close to mixed forest

Notes:

This one I'm sure was a stalker butterfly ;) It followed me several hundred meters so I guess it wanted to pose for me to become immortal and as soon as I took the pictures it went away.
