Short Tailed Blue
Everes argiades (Cupido alcetas)

Distribution: Poland, Northern Spain, France and eastwards to Greece and the Balkans including most of Italy.

Identification: Can be confused with the other Short Tailed Blues plus the Small Blues. See identification tips under Provencal Short Tailed Blue, Everes alcetas. Male has blue upperside, female mostly brown with often extensive areas of blue towards the basal areas.

Flight time: Typically double brooded flying in spring (end of April to June) and then in summer (July and August).

Habitat: Grassy flowery places, possibly with light scrub or the edge of woodland. Feeds on various Lotus and Medicago species plus Coronilla varia and Trifolium pratense - possibly other plants too.

Behaviour: Often flies low and inconspicuously amongst sparse areas of vegetation.

Additional notes: A delicate butterfly. The orange patches on the underside are a very useful identification aid.
