Hello Ra,
Lovely colours on this blue butterfly and a very good point of view to show all the wings in great detail. Well done. You will notice that the hind wings each have a long tail on them, so this is actually an example of Lampides boeticus , called the Long Tailed Blue in English, rather than a species of the Genus Polyommatus as none of those have these tails. Thanks for posting.

Lovely capture of this beautiful blue butterfly Ra.
Good colour and some good detail.
I see Alan has corrected your ID
Perhaps when you read our comments you can change your title to Lampides boeticus and perhaps add a few more notes.
Nice shot though.
Cheers
Steve

Hello Ra,

The silky-crisp feeling of the wings is well captured!
Attractive colour reproduction, and the subject has sharp fine details...
Composition wise you may go a bit closer without losing anything of interest!

Greetings,
