Small but very atractive butterfly from family Lycaenidae. The wingspan is up to 35 mm. The males are blue, the females are brown.
You can find these species in June and July in clearings and forest borders. Sometimes also on meadows.

The object on the picture is sitting on my rucksack. It was very hot day and I was a little bit tired. Probably my rucksack had interesting smell ;-D

Czesc Krzysiek!
Bardzo fajnie wyszlo to zdjecie. Motyl ostry i szczegolowy, swietne tlo i ten ekspres - zupelnie jak jakis most :-) Prawdziwa plage motyli mamy ostatnio. Udalo mi sie sfotografowac kilka nowych okazow, widzialem tez pare razy Pazia krolowej, ale zawsze lecacego wysoko.

hi Chris,

nice POV of this.
i have some image similar on some object, more or less smelly, but i'm not very sure to use or not to use that :)

TFS,

Hello Chris,
A lovely shot of this beautiful Butterfly. An unusual setting :-) Lovely detail, great colours and perfect DOF. I have no idea what the backround is but it works very well, perfectly defocused, nice light and shadow and great colours. Nice work.
Regards,
Adrian
