The Currant Fox, Pt. 2 - _TNY_8055
This photo is quite good for explaining why this species is known as the comma (Polygonia c-album) in English and C-Falter in German - that small comma (or C) on the underside of the wings.
Swedes instead call it a "vinbärsfuks" where vinbär means currant and fuks is a Swedification of the German Fuchs, meaning "fox".
Here, it has landed on top of my mother-in-law's new garden lamps which I suspect were quite hot in the sunlight.
