Brown Argus.

Species: Aricia agestis.

 

Until the 1996s, the Brown Argus had steadily declined as chalk and limestone grasslands were lost to agricultural improvement throughout southern and central England and Wales. Since then, however, it has made a comeback and has increased its range rapidly to the north and east, managing to adapt to other habitats such as railway cuttings, roadside verges and rough, overgrown land. Info: Bloomsbury Wildlife Guidea.
