Latin name: Polyommatus icarus

Size: Wingspan up to 35mms.
Months seen: May to October.
Food: Nectar. The caterpillars feed on bird's-foot trefoil
Habitat: Meadows, rough grassland and gardens.
Special features: On sunny days you can sometimes find these butterflies feeding together in small colonies. It's the most commonly seen of all the blue butterflies.
The bright blue male (above right) is unmistakable, but the female (left) is darker, and can have varying amounts of brown on the wings. The first will be on the wing from May to June, while the second emerges from late July to September. Further north there is normally only one brood appearing between July and August.

The green caterpillars are about 10mms long, quite flattened in appearance, and have a shiny black head.

Foarte tare poza, se pare ca ati reusit sa va apropiati atat de mult incat nu va mai privesc ca pe un dusman, faceti parte din mediul lor.
Numai bine

Hello Mariana,
I like this kind of pics. They show that some times the wild met us or the oposite, but anyway some people don`t like this here. I think it`s natural and you did a great job here. Very nice colours, composition and beuty BG. TFS.
