Common Blue butterflies, Polyommatus icarus. Male. Hutchinson's Bank, 2 August 2011. |
The top of its wings are a pleasing blue; you can just see the colour peeping over the near wingtips. The undersides have a pattern which is similar to several related species.
I stopped to think: had I ever seen two butterflies of exactly the same type following each other in that way? A great photo, in any case. Is that any special kind of grass?
