    This little blue butterfly is a frequest visitor to my garden at this time of year. I think it's a common blue but would stand corrected. Also does anyone know what this shrub is called? [​IMG]

    We have Holly Blues, but the body isn't as big as that one.

    [​IMG] I think it is the common blue as the chalkhill has more markings around the edge of the wings, can't put my finger on the name of the shrub at the moment, but should know, will have to go & look. [​IMG]

    Thanks everyone - the butterfly is tiny and I am quite proud of the picture. I think the butterfly is far too pretty to be called common though [​IMG]
