Butterflies, Moths and Assorted Insects...

[AlanF]

Good day for the blues today - tiny to small butterflies that don't keep still for long. First, some Small Blues, then a Holly Blue and finally Common Blues (I took the RF 100-500mm for these.)

This didn't show its underside of the wings.
But I suppose it's a female holly blue (celastrina argiolus).

 

[Maximilian]

This is a holly blue for sure, female.
