Silver Studded Blue female
A compilation shot showing both sides of the female silver studded blue on the Ashdown Forest this week. On the underside, you can see some very clear silver studs, from which she gets her name. Despite being a 'blue', like most female lycaenidae she is predominantly brown for camouflage purposes.
More detail viewed large.
