Should be Aglais urticae. The older caterpillar are usually solitary. It is at the moment the most common butterfly in Europe. http://www.lepiforum.de/webbbs/images/forum_2/pic5351.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IMG_0368_caterpillar.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aglais_urticae_qtl3.jpg http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species.php?species=urticae
