I have been after capturing one of these for ages and just happened to see this one today , and to add to my excitement it was attached to a lovely bit of wild flower as well.. thanks for looking.. I am hoping I I have the name right
Saw lots of these stunning butterflies during our walk on a chalk grassland hillside. Flashes of vivid azure blue - so hard to capture in a photo.
Pristine Female Adonis Blue Butterfly taken at Ballard Down on the Jurrasic Coast of Dorset at Ulwell, Swanage.
Best open winged shots I've ever had. Flash has darkened the backgrounds a bit, but probably makes the subjects 'pop' more.

Every now and then I enoy making ooak outfits for dolls. This time it is for the Adonis body.
It's always funny to realize his huge muscles are not as visiually dominant when he's dressed nicely *lol*.

Notes: After the world wide success of "Urformen der Kunst" in 1928, The book was reissued in 1929 with plates that were widely praised and considered by many to be superior to the 1928 edition. The 1929 edition also had a subtle green tinge to the ink. It was published in the United States and titled "Art Forms in Nature"; editions were also published in Great Britain and France- all with identical plates from the Ganymed presses in Berlin. Another book in 1932 - "Wundergarten der Natur" - was issued with another 120 high quality photogravure plates plates.

I was at Denbies Hillside today, hoping to catch some of the late butterflies after my two week absence in the US. Went with a friend from work and gave her a tour of the site - she was chuffed to see six butterfly species she'd not seen before :)
Always amazed by the electric blue of this species. It's one of the ways to distinguish them from Common Blues. Another is the black checker board pattern on the white fringe around the outer edge of the wings - this is absent in Common Blues.
Also saw one Marbled White at the site which seems quite late in the season for them.
