Can anybody tell me what kind of a butterfly this is?

EDIT: After some research, this might actually be a moth?

EDIT 2: I found out what it is! it is the Purple Tiger or Rhyparia purpurata

Yeah, I'm trying to find it and all sources are pointing towards it being a moth... But still... No idea more specifically!

One of my best childhood memories is riding a bike along a rode where a shit ton of little blue butterflies were sitting and them flying up all around me!

Butterflies are beautiful!
