I'm not sure, it could be Lysandra bellargus ("Adonis blue"). Upper side of the wing is blue-purple (male) or gray-brown-orange (female) but I have no luck to capture it (male upper wing side color).DaveW wrote:Nikola
Nice picture!
Do you know what species it is? It looks very like one of the "blues" we get here in the UK.

I think this one is female of the same kind. :

These are some great butterfly photos, wish I had a few around my place to photograph. Don't know a whole lot about them, except that they are pretty.

The reverse of the wing certainly looks right. Here's a picture of the male:-

Can't locate such a good picture of the female, the "blues" seem a bit difficult to tell apart.

I thought it looked like a butterfly we also get in the UK.

Don't know what you are moaning about, you have far more butterflies than we have. You have all these to photograph:-

Not counting dragonflies and damselflies!

Think it's Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris). See:-

Think Paul is correct for the plant your Adonis Blue is on:-
http://www.invasive.org/browse/subject.cfm?sub=6517
However I think the plant the Holly Blue is on in your Flickr link is probably Common Ragwort.
