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.

$Polyommatus icarus is a common resident in the Netherlands.\nHabitat: The species occurs in a variety of flower-rich places, irrespective of nutrient level, pH or humidity. habitats include waste ground, grasslands and roadside verges.\nFood plants: Several species of Fabaceae serve as larval food plant.\nFlight Season: Common Blue flies in two, sometimes three generations from mid-May until the end of August, and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar.\nDistribution: A common species in a great part of Europe, except the north of Scandinavia.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

$Brenthis daphne, the marbled fritillary, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.\nDescription:\nBrenthis daphne has a wingspan of 30–44 millimeters. Wings are rather rounded, the basic color of the upper side of the forewings is bright orange, with an incomplete black marginal band. The underside of the hindwings have a yellowish postdiscal band and the marginal area is completely suffused with purple, with a marble effect (hence the common name). The quadrangular patch on the underside hindwing is partially shaded orange pink to outer side. The chrysalis has two dorsal rows of thorns with bright spots and a bright metallic shine.\nThis species is very similar to the lesser marbled fritillary (Brenthis ino), but the latter is slightly smaller and the coloration of said patch is completely yellow.\nBiology:\nThe butterfly flies from late May to early August depending on the location. The eggs are laid separately in July on the leaves of the host plants. The larvae feed on brambles (Rubus fruticosus), raspberry (Rubus idaeus), Rubus caesius, Rubus sachalinensis, Sanguisorba officinalis and Filipendula species, while adults usually feed on nectar from brambles, thistles and other flowers. This species is univoltine. It overwinters at the caterpillar stage in the egg shell. \nDistribution and habitat:\nThis widespread species is present in the Palearctic ecozone from the southern parts of the continental Europe (northern Spain, southern France, Germany, Italy and eastwards to Slovakia and Greece), up to Caucasus, western Siberia. It prefers warm and sunny forest edges, woodland and bushy areas where the host plants grow, at an elevation of 75–1,750 meters above sea level (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$
