$The Common Blue is the most widespread blue butterfly in Britain and Ireland and is found in a variety of grassy habitats.\nThe brightly coloured males are conspicuous but females are more secretive. The colour of the upperwings of females varies from almost completely brown in southern England to predominantly blue in western Ireland and Scotland, but the colour is variable within local populations with some striking examples. Unlike Adonis and Chalkhill Blues, the dark veins do not extend into white fringes of wing margin$

The blue color of the Common Blue butterfly is less evident when its wings are closed, but a distinct blue hue does show up. The detailed patterns on the wings are a marvel of the artistry of nature. This photographe was taken in the midday sunshine in Southern Quebec in summertime.

This is an European Species with a increase in the Southern Parts of Europe.\nHabitat: This Blue butterfly occurs on both dry and wet Heathland, often in the transition zone between the wet and drier parts.

Various ants, notable Lasius species, are attracted to the caterpillars and pupae.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$
