[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus)[1], is a butterfly that belongs to the Lycaenids or Blues family and is native to Eurasia and North America.
In India, it is known as the Hill Hedge Blue. The Californian subspecies Celastrina argiolus echo is called either the "Spring azure" or the "Echo blue".
In Europe, the first generation feeds mainly on Holly (Ilex aquifolium) but the second generation uses a range of foodplants.

Acertado encuadre y posición del insecto. La definición es pobre y falta claridad.
Buen fin de semana Siegfried: J. Ignasi.

Halo Siggi
Ce papillon, que je n'ai vu que 3 fois, a une teinte vraiment somptueuse.
Ce bleu argenté, avec les petites taches noires, le rendent très élégant.
Merci pour la qualité de ta photo
Amitiés

Hallo Siegfried,

A superb macro capture of the beautiful Holly Blue butterfly with nice details!
I like the sharpness and POV here with great show of natural colors. A great contrast can be seen between the colors of the butterfly and the green leaf on which it is perching.

Very well done!

best regards,
Paras
