Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary (Clossiana selene) on Field Scabious (Knautia arvensis). The butterfly is easily mistaken for C. euphrosyne from which it can be distinguished on the underside by the more brown colour and the black spot with no white ring around on the hindwing. Photographed in Denmark.
