The silver-studded blue (Plebejus argus)

I've been hoping to photograph Silver-studded Blue on heather for some time. This was taken at Prees Heath near Whitchurch, Shropshire, which I gather is the last reliable place for this species in the Midlands. There were good numbers of butterflies when I arrived yesterday evening but they were beginning to roost and didn't seem very inclined to settle on the flowering heather. Eventually I found this one perched on the end of a stem against a clean background.

Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)

Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.

This species and the idas blue P. idas, pose plenty of identification issues. Both species are widespread and often common. Variation between individuals and colonies is marked in both species, with plenty of overlap possible.

 

Identification & Similar species: Separation is sure with the one character which is constant - the male foreleg tibia has a hook in the current species which is never present in P. idas. Other characters offer guidance for separating the males. The upperside male black border is fine and the upperside hindwing space 7 largely blue in P. idas the border often much broader and space 7 lacks blue in P. argus.

Higher Hyde Heath DWT. The silver-studded blue emerges in June and is usually on the wing until late August. It is a rare butterfly, generally found in heathland habitats that have shorter, sparsely vegetated areas. It is restricted to close-knit colonies in southern England and Wales. Two subspecies can be found in its range, while two others are now extinct in the UK. The larvae feed on a wide variety of plants, such as bell heather, cross-leaved heath and gorses.

A very nice hoodoo area in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area near Page, Arizona. The gravel road to it turned into four wheel drive so I had to park my car and walk to the area.

This male cardinal had two females pursuing him through a tree at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, What a stud!

Here's something to brighten yet another damp July morning. A lovely fresh male Silver-studded Blue perched on Bell Heather.

I have to say I'm finding this damp summer a little frustrating, I should be looking for Purple Emperors but instead its drizzling outside.

Hankley Common, Surrey, 26th June 2019

Male / upperwing.

 

Species: Plebeius argus.

 

This attractive little blue is most often associated with heathlands of southern England, where it can occur in very large numbers. However, in many places it is serious decline, mainly as a result of destruction of heaths and the shading out of the sparsely vegetated, sunny habitats it prefers.

L'azuré de l'ajonc : Silver-studded Blue : Plebejus argus

spent a very rewarding couple of days with Ross Hoddinott photographing Blue Studded Blue in Cornwall, fun and such informative work on their habitat, life cycle and found

Another one from the end of June. It had been some years since I actively went looking for butterflies to photograph and I had forgotten how hard it is to contort yourself into the correct position to try and get the whole wing in the plane of focus, maybe that is why I stopped doing it last time!

 

However for one of the UK's prettiest (and smallest) butterflies - it was worth it!

A wonderful backlit Silver-studded Blue this morning. Only saw 2 this morning, 1 yesterday, however these still feel early.

 

Always a delight to see.

A lovely silver studded blue butterfly amongst the ling heather. I've been lucky enough to come across quite af few "blues" of various types this year but this was my first images of the silver studded - great to see.

This week's assignment for Macro Mondays is "All in a Row". I could have used so many items but I chose this belt with studs which are all in a row. I hope you like it!

 

Thank you for your views, comments and faves! HMM everyone!

Wishing all Hindus a Happy Deepavali…

At first I thought the left one was a female, but it turns out it is a male with aging wings

The Silver-studded blues were pairing all over the heath this morning. These ones actually pared up beside me while I was waiting for the Yellowhammer
