Mystery Butterfly

This butterfly is new to me. Does anyone know what kind it is? Its open wings are blue-ish in colour. It's a pretty little thing, even without an identity. (p.s. mystery solved- this is a "European common blue.")

Awesome colors and textures of the butterfly. Great capture of the beautiful flower too. Fav.

@pyrrhula @julie @beryl Thank you! Mystery solved thanks to some google sleuthing. This is a "European common blue.' (Another learning opportunity thanks to 365 :)

@365projectorgheatherb Well done - I was going to suggest - common blue but was not sure - great shot as they move around so swiftly 🦋🦋

@beryl @ziggy77 @carolmw Thank you, Beryl, Jo, and Carol. A common blue- a new one for me! And yes, Beryl, they sure move around really quickly. I chased this one for a while before I was lucky to have it settle long enough to get a shot:)

[Sue Cooper]

This is just stunning Heather. I thought it looked like our common blue but I didn’t realise you got them in Canada. It’s very pretty. Fav.
