[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From my backyard:

The female Common blue (Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae; Polyommatus icarus Rott. 1775; Hauhechel-Bläuling; Azuré commun) has a wing span of 28 mm. It reproduces in my backyard thanks to wild growing Fabaceae (here: Lotus corniculatus).

The species occurs in all of Europe, Canary islands, Northern Africa and Asia right down to the Pacific.

Lieber Dieter,
Ein nicht seltener Schmetterling, aber sehr gut fotografiert, seine beiden Flügelseiten ideal präsentierend. Dazu kommt, dass es ein Weibchen ist, die werden weniger fotografiert. Einfaches und schönes Naturdokument.
Herzlich grüsst
Anne
