[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Same species (Chalkhill Blue, Polyommatus coridon) as posted earlier this week, and photographed at the same location, but this time a female. The females are hard to find - I saw more than ten males for every female spotted, and they were much more difficult to photograph. I "captured" this one as she stopped to feed in the evening sunlight.
