According to Hisko de Vries, a German naturalist on the site observado.org, this butterfly is a Woodland Ringlet (Erebia medusa)... D’après Hisko de Vries, un naturaliste allemand sur le site observado.org, ce papillon serait un Moiré franconien ou Franconien ou Nègre à bandes fauves (Erebia medusa)… :~)

This must be one of the most beautiful looking butterflies I have seen in a long time - the pattern is just divine, like a little ballerina dress ... thoroughly fascinating - well done, BB
