Hello Krystian
Adult Aglais like flowers, such as Buddleja or Verbena. They will also take sugar water (50:50) or honey (50:50) on cotton wool. They can be a little difficult in a small space, they like to fly.
If you want them to lay eggs. I find that I do not put the nettle in too early. let them pair and allow the eggs to mature over a few days and then put the nettle in.
Good luck

A good food I feed my forest butterflies (like admirals and tortiseshell) is banana and pineapple. They can be hard to feed, though.
