[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of Europe's most widespread butterflies it is found from the edge of the Sahara to northern Scotland and northern Scandinavia to Greece. It occupies many habitats and is found from sea level to high mountains (up to 3000m). Not surprisingly there are many variations across this range. The constant feature that greatly helps separate this species from several others is the presence of a black spot in the underside fore wing cell. This distinguishes it from the otherwise very similar Chapman's Blue, A. thersites, and the larger brighter Escher's Blue, A. escheri. In northern Greece the Phalakron Blue, P. andronicus but this is so rare and local that it is unlikely to be encountered without specific expeditions to look for it. It is much larger than icarus. Confusion with other species is unlikely.

Salutare Mariana,

Excelenta redarea cu acest BG de zile mari, sa zic asa.
Un weekend placut,
Adrian

Hi Mariana. This is a fine pair of the butterflies. You have taken them with good detail and rich colours. You have managed to keep both in focus.They stand out from the plain BG. well done TFS.
Nick..

Ciao Mariana, wonderful couple, great macro with fine details and splendid sharpness, beautiful natural colors, very well done my friend, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

Buna Mariana
Ai reusit sa ii ai pe ambii fluturasi in focus, pt ca mie mi se pare ca nu sunt in acelasi plan si in acelasi timp sa ai un bg "blurat".
Numai bine
Oana

Hi Mariana,

TFS and have a nice Sunday!
Cheers,

Bayram

Hi Mariana,

I'm still trying to catch up on the pictures I missed! How wonderful to capture this rare pair in such terrific positions on the flower. The colors and patterns of the wing markings are beautiful and you show them in fine detail. A nice background and a good centered composition.
