Holly Blue

Holly Blues (Celastrina argiolus) are apparently quite common here in Sweden but this is the first time I've seen one myself. It perched on a Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) long enough for me to get a photo, which I thought was very nice of it!

I have seen several butterflies here in central Illinois, cabbage whites, but none of them deigned to sit still long enough to photograph.

That's so typical of them :-)
