Photo of a small butterfly resting with wings closed, its feet gripping the stem of a grass. The underwings are like cloisonné - pale and dark orange, cream, and white panels outlined by dark veins. White ‘pearls’ border the edge of the hind wing showing. There are black dots within some of the orange panels. It has a furry orange-brown body and long, bobbly antennae. Blurred grass in the background.

I think this might be a small pearl-bordered fritillary.
It wasn’t going to let me get an open wing shot but the underwings are so pretty.
