Silvery blue (Glaucopsyche lygdamus) female

These little "blues" are common right now. The female has a darker colouration around the blue colouring which is not as brilliant as the blue of the male.

Very beautiful butterfly. What a great color, the blueish wing. Nature is amazing, isn't it ? V

Just love the sparkly blue and the reflective background too. Very detailed!
