Have you noticed how frequently the name "argus" appeared in butterfly names. We have Scotch Argus and Brown Argus in Britain but there are many more in Europe. And the word is also incorporated into several scientific names (eg bellargus, semiargus). This Silver-studded Blue has the true name all to itself with the scientific name Plebejus argus. Plebejus were basically the Plebs or common folk, as this was Linnaeus' "dumping ground" for all the small butterflies like blues and skippers. These were lower than the grand Swallowtails, Emperors and Admirals. And so to the name argus. In Greek mythology Zeus was in love with Io, so to indulge himself without arousing his wife Hera's suspicion, he turned her into a Heifer. Hera found out and placed her under the care of Argus, who had a hundred eyes. Zeus enlisted the help of Hermes who lulled Argus to sleep with his flute and then cut off Argus's head. Hera consoled herself by setting Argus's eyes into the tail of the peacock. So any butterfly that has numerous eyespots often has the name Argus, and elsewhere in the animal kingdom (eg Great Argus Pheasant).

PJ, Becca's Teddy Bear, is turning 20 years old and Becca got PJ ear studs.
PJ and Becca just finished university and are applying for jobs. Where Becca goes, PJ will follow.
Becca hasn't been pulled over yet in her auto by a policeman, but if she ever is I'd love to see the look on his face when he sees PJ strapped into the passenger's seat with a seat belt.

I watched couples as they quivered, whirred and circled each other for a second or two. They are easy to watch as they are so busy and they fly so low. They are quite small, 25 - 32mm wingspan.
Per chi a 3 minuti di tempo in più ..... consiglio di vedere il Video per rendersi conto di come sono stete realizzate le riprese !

Silver-studded Blue / plebejus argus. Lindrick Common, S.Yorkshire. 20/06/20.
'EXTRAORDINARY MEETING WITH A BUTTERFLY.'
When I visited Lindrick Common to photograph butterflies, I never imagined for one moment that I would have such an intimate encounter with this male Silver-studded Blue.
I didn't find him, he found me and landed on my t-shirt. Crawling over the cotton he began probing with his proboscis to extract salts ... I presume (?) ... from traces of my perspiration. Although he made occasional short flights, he always returned so I decided to sit on the grass and watch. Gross though it may seem to some, his fascinating performance prompted me to work out how I could take a photograph with one hand!
As if reading my mind, once he returned and obligingly landed on my rucksack. Problem solved, I had both hands free to adjust settings and use the camera. This image is one of the results and gives quite a nice side view of him. It shows the tip of his proboscis inserted between the strong strap fibres. It does leave me wondering if I ought to switch brands of anti-perspirant though!!! :-)

Now built in real life!
It started out as a MOD of set 40650, but finally became a totally different model.
7 studs wide and 1 stud longer than the mentioned set, the MOC is now in 1/32 scale and matches gauge 1 railway models. Also, it now has the distinctive "barrel side" waistline and the triple rear window, both missing on the 40650 model.
The colour scheme with its black hood and roof is inspired by the 2015 "Autobiography Edition".
