Bog Fritillary on bird vetch (Boloria eunomia, Vicia cracca)

Closed-wing view. As for the flowers, I think that's bird vetch (fuglevikke in Norwegian), aka cow vetch, tufted vetch, boreal vetch - as we say here: beloved child has many names. Still, I obviously was more focused on the butterfly than on the plant at the time.
