[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Thanks for all the nice comments of my previous post.

Today’s post is a small blue one, the Green Underside Blue is a pretty rare butterfly in Sweden but can show up in big numbers locally as in our Butterfly Road just outside my town.
This spring we have seen lots of them despite the cold spring.
It is sitting on a Geranium sylvaticum, Swedish name: Midsummer flower.

The wingspan ranges from 27 to 36 millimetres, and in different individuals.Green-underside blue male is blue on top and gray underneath. The female has a broad brown border around the blue wings on the top and underside is light gray. The larva is green and up to 15 millimetres long. This butterfly occurs on drier meadows and mountain slopes.
Green-underside Blue range is in Europe and on through Central Asia to Mongolia and northern China. The prevalence in Europe is in much of Europe except the Netherlands, British Isles, Iceland, northern Russia, Sardinia, Cyprus and some other smaller areas.
