MagdalenaThe current weather's hardly suitable for field trips (which, for some reason, L. megera didn't mind at all which is said to prefer dry and warm conditions) and I managed to mess most of my shots up. I hope this female P. icarus doesn't mind the noisy portrait of itself. <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Lepidoptera" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Butterfly" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Butterfly</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/CommonBlue" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#CommonBlue</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Insect" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Insect</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Nature" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Nature</a>

MagdalenaPolyommatus icarus not only making its first appearance during this season but getting straight down to business. Right now this species is significantly outnumbered by their close relative P. bellargus, so they have to work harder to boost their own population again to justify their English name. <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Lepidoptera" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Lepidoptera</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Butterfly" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Butterfly</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/CommonBlue" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#CommonBlue</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Insects" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Insects</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Nature" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Nature</a>

Ian Lewis PhotographyHere’s a shot from the same cemetery a couple of years ago. They seem a bit later this year with my 1st sighting coming in June and this image being end of May. Numbers seem low at the moment, I hope they pick up. There is a lot to be said about being able to walk to a local patch and have a couple of hours peace and quiet. A few dog walkers about but most people are oblivious the the beauty that’s around. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/commonblue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#commonblue</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/butterfly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#butterfly</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/cornwall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cornwall</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/macro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macro</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/closeup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#closeup</a>

Ian Lewis PhotographyPhone shot… I’ve managed to get out a few evenings now and bag a few butterfly shots. This common blue was in a local cemetery which has been good to me the last few years. I’ve probably got 1,000s of images of these but can’t resist taking more.
