Common blue

Polyommatus icarus

Description:

Small butterfly. When wings spread it was purple with white edge, when closed you ould see little black spot circled white and with pinkish and white edge. Body was dark purple-blue.

Notes:

When I spotted these butterflies on my walk they were very patiently posing, so I could take a good look at them, but when I returned with a camera they wouldn't stop flying around, so I had a hard time to take a picture. Hope this one helps to find an ID. Will try to take better picture tomorrow.
