| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Common blue (Polyommatus icarus)is a small butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. Male uppersides are a beautiful iridescent lilac blue with a thin black border. Females are brown with a row of red spots along the edges. They usually have some blue at the base of the wings and quite often are blue and have reddish spots at the end of their wings.There are about a dozen black centered white spots on the hind wings, nine on the forwings.
Males are often very obvious as they defend territories against rivals and search out the more reclusive females. |

Hello Rimantas,
a nice and sharp picture of this small blue.
This is not icarus but I think, Lycaena tityrus.
Best wishes, Peter

witaj Rimantas.
Piękne, pełne światła słonecznego zdjęcie samca Lycaena alciphron! Ładna kompozycja, perspektywa(POV), dobra głębia ostrości (DOF) i szczegóły. Podoba mi się :-)
Pozdrawiam i dziękuję
