Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus) - female

Still a lot of these around. This one is a female so doesn't have the intense blue colouring of the male, but I actually think the subtle shades are really lovely. I posted a picture of the male underwing here .... http://365project.org/julienne1/365/2015-08-05

@shirleybankfarm - it's lovely when they catch the light and draw your attention amongst the long grasses
