Holly Blue

Celastrina argiolus

Description:

My ID is temptative. Out of my guide book this is the species with most ressemblance to my spotting. If the species is different please let me know. Holly Blue has pale silver-blue wings spotted with pale ivory dots.

Habitat:

It is distributed at the level of subespecies, through several continents. The first generation feeds on holly (Ilex aquifolium) and the next on a wider variety of plants.
