Holly Blue

[turlough]

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!

Lovely little thing, and yes, difficult to photograph as even by butterfly standards, they rarely sit still for long!

It looked so delicate and frail! I was amazed at how long it sat on that flower!
