Alternative food
What do you do when you are born near your normal food source, heather, but the heather isn't in bloom yet? Well, you switch to blackberry flowers:

It is a silver-studded blue (Plebejus argus), heideblauwtje in Dutch. Another photo:

For added cuteness, here's a photo of a Skipper that was also there:

Thanks for watching!
Truly amazing photos!
Wonderful brown butterflies 😊
In the first photo, you could say that it actually sits at the table.
Beautiful macro details🦋
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Really nice detailed photos. The butterfly is so beautiful.
I have noticed here that there are far fewer numbers of butterflies around this year. Shame.
Yeah, It seems that way almost everywhere.
It seems to be so in many countries. In my region of The Netherlands things are still OK, though not great.
Lovely images, really nice :)

Wow. That must be among the nicest of the Lycaenids. Great pics. Nice little skipper too. I don't see a lot of those here.
Where is "here" again? Down under?
Yes. Tasmania actually. Thats the little island down under down under ☺
For added cuteness the Skipper made the big puss eyes to the camera :D
They do that. I almost think they know they're cute 8-).
