Hi Christophe,

This is a beautiful photo. The details on the butterfly are razorsharp and the colors are very vivid. I like the composition and the POV a lot. I can see two stains in the picture, one underneath in the middle and one in the right top. Are that stains on your lens or maybe dust on your sensor? Anyway, the photo is very, very beautiful. Well worth 2 points. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Not a species we get in britian we have some very close relatives of Reverdin's Blue (It's english common name)so it is good to see such a wonderful image, only the ends of the antnae slightly out side the DOF, the rest is well detailed, TFS Robert

Hi!

this is not the Plebejus argyrognomon/Reverdin's Blue, this because of the first spot (the basal spot from the wing) this is not present at that species.
That spot (at this size) is characteristical for the Polyommatus icarus/Common Blue, and this is my oppinion. More exactly it is a female.

But the photo is great.

Very good photo!
Perfect details and sharpness!
5* photo!

I agree with Cosmin Manci. It's not a P. argyrognomon (Bergsträsser, 1779), but a P. icarus (Rottemburg, 1775).
Take a lok at, for the P. argyrognomon:

and for the P. icarus:

Look at the underside of the wings of both species. They are quite diferent.

I agree with Cosmin Manci and Paulo-Henrique that it's not a P.argyrognomon(Bergsträsser, 1779), but I think it is Polyommatus bellargus because of the the basal spot on the forewing and the dark sripes in the white edge of the wings that is not present in the P.icarus.
