$Satyrium acaciae, the sloe hairstreak, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. \n\nDescription from Seitz:\nT. acaciae F. Smaller than true ilicis, hardly so large as esculi. Above uniformly dark brown, the male bearing 1-3, the female 2-5 small red anal spots. The line of white bars on the underside is straighter, being somewhat curved outward at the anal angle of the hindwing without forming a W. Male without scent-spot. \nLarva pale yellowish green or grass-green, with black head, two yellowish subdorsal lines and, further laterad, small pale oblique spots; in May adult on blackthorn, especially small bushes which grow on sunny slopes: the larva can be obtained by beating. The butterflies have very definite haunts which are widely dispersed throughout the distribution area and often of very limited extent ; they occur particularly on rocky slopes, with blackthorn hedges and exposed to the full force of the sun, in June, showing a preference for resting on Umbellifers. \nFlight Season:\nSatyrium acaciae has just one Generation and flies from June until July.\nDistribution:\nParticularly in Central Europe. From South France to Asia Minor and Transcaucasia. \nThe distribution of the sloe hairstreak ranges from 49° N in France and 51° N in Germany and Poland. It is absent from southern Italy, the Mediterranean islands, Portugal and Spain except for the Montes Universales and the north (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$
