The nigger butterflies (unironically called that in German) of the genus Erebia are mostly found in mountain areas. No other butterflies go higher than these guys. The caterpillars take several years to develop in the short alpine summers.
Pieris bryoniae is also a mountain species, the others are found everywhere though Coenonympha arcania is generally rare. Vanessa cardui is one of the most common butterflies.
