Common Blue 2
Although a regular sight in our countryside the Common Blue's numbers in some areas have fallen dramatically. It is the most widely distributed of the blues and is found from sea level to mountainsides throughout Britain and Ireland, except for Shetland.
It is double-brooded here in the south, flying in May and June, and again in August and September. In long, hot summers, however, an extra brood may appear, lasting into late October.
