Aglais urticae
The only butterfly I saw on this trip, it was cold and windy with clouds that often covered the sun and I was pretty suprised in seen it. It stood very still on the rocky path, bathing in the little sunlight and the heat the rocks let out.
rocky terrain just under a high mountain at 1500 met. above sea level
edited again ;) yes on my book the only present is its bigger brother... maybe I should consider bying a new one
Really? It is one of the most common ones in Europe...
Actual scientific name is Aglais urticae. The names in the wiki links are not precise.
