I found it in very interesting meadow near the forest, with lots of Swallowtails. One of this sit down on a pine. This is a Common Blue butterfly, its a very common in this year.

Polyommatus icarius

Class : Insects
Order : lepidoptera
Family : Lycaenidae
It is one of the most common butterflies in Europe. The males are a striking bluish-violet colour, but females are brown with orange spots near the margins of the wings.
Crop, sharpened, contrasted, reduce noise and resized to 800 pixels for the site.

Hi Rimantas,
pretty worn out butterfly if you ask me. Nice colours match well together. The Depth of field could have been higher.
Regards, JAcob

Hi Rimantas,
très joli cliché, le douceur de la lumière est superbe. J'aime beaucoup la teinte bleutée.
Bravo.

Hello Rimantas,
You got a very good macro of this butterfly.
I like a lot the sharp and clear details got.
Excellent the POV used.
It's very good the color contrast between the purple flower at the background and the greens/blues.
A very good balanced composition.
Congratulations, thanks for share and best regards,
JM
