Blue Holly Butterfly

At least that is what google says. Really quite small & such a pretty shade of blue. It was actually on a Holly bush in the garden - apparently the caterpillars are fond of holly & ivy, so I assume that is where the name comes from, coupled with their colour.
Many thanks for all your recent comments & favs, all very much appreciated.
