Hi guys,
after my failed attempt to attach these photos last week, maybe now I'll have more luck. All photos taken in Germany near Nürnberg. Any ideas? Probably common I know but am not too familiar with names.

Hello,

ref your pictures.

1. Is a Fritillary, difficult to say what species without seeing the underside.
there are several more species on the continent than we have here. But
if I was pushed for an ID I would say possibly Queen of Spain Frit.
2. Is a Skipper, possibly female but I would need to see a shot of the
underside again to be sure, including a look at the antennae.
3. Small Heath probably, although there are other small 'heath' type
butterflies on the continent.
4. Marbled White.
