      Hi Karin, I'm not Joost but Josine ;-)
      I think it's a comma butterfly.

        dear Josine, thank you for your help. it is highly appreciated. mostly Joost Thissen is supporting me with the specification,
        that you voted on my comma butterfly, is very kindly. saw this the first time here in the wiesbaden-frankfurt area in germany.

    Karin, this is the most amazing butterfly capture I've ever seen. It looks like a hole in the leaf in thumbnail mode, like stonified (turned into stone, is that the right word, i don't know:)). Magnificent!

    Btw a very beautiful butterfly from the innerside view of the wings, yet this side (you are viewing the top and bottom part of a single wing here, correct) is fascinating in its roughness. It is indeed the comma butterfly, or the 'C-falter' in German. The white speck on its blackish wing resembles a letter C, hence the name (in english they think it resembles a comma, it must be the metric system or is it the reverse:))

      dear ludosak, it was so cold that morning and i moved the leaf to force the butterfly to open the wing, but no chance. normally this c-butterfly is situated in the southern parts of europe. so it was freezing a lot. thank you for your statements.
