Lycaena hippothoe - family Lycaenidae.

One of the rare species from Lycaenidae family. You can find it on wet meadows, forest borders or clearings. The wingspan is about 35 mm. Sometimes its possible to find butterflies with violet wings but usually the wings are dark red. The females are brown - like most females from Lycaenidae. The butterflies are active in hot, sunny days in June and at the begining of July.

Small caterpilars can be found on diferent types of Rumex (docks) or Polygonum (buckwheat)

Hi Chris,
Great macro with some realy beautiful colors. I expect that some members will do a WS on this photo, because there is this digital haze on the photo and can be enahanced by contrast USM ans saturation.
