[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 (upto 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 forewing 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.

HI Mariana . I think it was the rich colours that made me notice this fine close up. You have taken a fine picture of the butterfly with good detail . Also the grass head is excellent with so much detail and warm colour. well taken TFS.

Hello Mariana,

The background color is impressive, the approach allows a very interesting effect of depth, causing the spike appears to emerge from the background scatter. The butterfly is a central point of reference, endowed with sharpness and a perfect light. Beautiful photo, beautifully composed.

TFS!
