Plebejus argus
The silver-studded blue (Plebejus argus) is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. Females of this species are generally brown and more subdued in color, but also have the metallic spots on the hindwings. The undersides of the male and female butterflies are very similar. They are taupe in color, with rings of black spots along the edge of the wing. The pictured female Plebejus argus was spotted while foraging on a daucus carota flower, in Tzoumerka mountains National park, Greece.
