I agree on the butterflies (don't know for sure about the moth). And yes, that is a female euphrosyne (i.e., pearl-bordered fritillary!) even though that double pd spot in s.1b looks silver rather than yellow.

Hi Pat,

Pyrgus malvae means Grizzled Skipper in case you didn't know. (I get a bit confused with the latin names.)

Cheers
