Another nymphalid - see https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-image-vanessa-cardui-painted-lady-butterfly-image23329981 for an example. Identification would be much easier if you could capture an image of the dorsal (upper) surface of the wings. (I know, butterflies often are uncooperative in this endeavor...)

How true it is !!!
In these days my Buddleja Royal red is full of butterflies of all kinds (Vanessa atalanta, Pieris rapae, Papilio machaon, Macroglossum stellatarum, Iphiclides podalirius, Pieris brassicaceae, Aglais Io, Pieris brassicaceae, and others that you have identified !!!) I suffer from stiff neck to try to photograph them!

Thank you!
