Blue Velvet

Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus)

Thanks to 'a_ paphia' for ID.

I've taken loads of shots of these beauties, but they always appear slightly out of focus.

Today, I think I cracked it. I love the blue hairs on the abdomen.

This is a rare kind of butterfly that is both great to view folded and unfolded.

See my shot 'Yellow and Blue', below.
