My pleasure RiekoS. It's one of my favorite butterflies. It always reminds me of my family vacation spot because there are many of them in the meadow I go spotting in.
Thank you very much for the information k.andrews6. This is "also known as the Wood-nymph, Grayling, Blue-eyed Grayling, and the Goggle Eye", so I used Goggle Eye as common name.
