Narrow Escape - _TNY_2010

A helpful friend suggested this is a cranberry blue, Plebejus optilete.

 

It appears this one has made a narrow escape from a predator like a bird, judging by the damaged wings.

 

I came across this one as well as like a hundred (no, really!) more blues, coppers and fritillaries on an afternoon walk along a logging road in Härnösand, Sweden.
