A very flighty long-tailed blue butterfly. How lovely!

It is! And all the time the numbers stay low it will be welcomed - it only seems to appear later in the summer, and as later sown peas usually get mildew and produce very little anyway it seems like a fair exchange. I'll sow it some peas and it will enhance the environement just by existing  Smile

This is one from 2018 - ddin't see any last year - I guess a female as the blue is quite faint.
