Polyommatus (Cyaniris) semiargus
Small butterfly with black spots, circled white on the bottom and brown on top.
Meadows near forest. Alpine area.
Slovenian name: "modri grašičar"
It's not too hard to learn family and genus, there's only 8 butterfly families and they are easy recognizable, when you know genus, all you have to do is count spots and patterns on wings :) I ID them by book: Butterflies of Britain and Europe (Tolman, T.)
that's amazing, really. i wish i'll at least be able to recognise some basic butterflies flying around here. i'm very glad you know so much about butterflies, because if it weren't for your ID's I wouldn't know much about it :)
haha It's very easy, I'm biologist and I made my thesis about butterflies, researched them for three years and have great field guide for european butterflies.. :)
I only knew this was some kind of "polyommatus". How can you ID them after that ... ??
