    This is a fritillary species, but they are hard to identify from this side. Do you have a photo of the underside of the wings? Posted 10 years ago

        In this case the most likely ID is pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne).

The Pearl-bordered Fritillary

The Pearl-bordered Fritillary is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. Like other species of fritillary, the males have special scent glands on their wings so that they can be recognised by females of their own species and therefore find a suitable partner.
