The chalkhill blue (Lysandra coridon) is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is a small butterfly that can be found throughout the Palearctic realm, where it occurs primarily in grasslands rich in chalk. Males have a pale blue colour, while females are dark brown. Both have chequered fringes around their wings.\nDescription:\nLysandra coridon has a wingspan of 30–36 millimeters . These small butterflies present a sexual dimorphism. The males having pale silvery-blue upperside of the wings with a submarginal line of grey spots on the hindwings and a thin brown and white chequered fringe. Females have dark brown upperside of wings, with marginal orange spots and also with chequered fringes. The underside of the wings show a light ochre colouration, several dark spots surrounded by white, a submarginal line of black marks, a series of marginal orange spots on the hindwings and a blue dusting near the body. \nAs with many blue butterflies, separation from similar species in the field is on the underside markings. \nHabitat:\nThis particular species of butterfly has a preference for dry calcareous grasslands, at an elevation of 100–2,000 meters above sea level. This species also has a preference towards grasslands that have short grass with many flowering plants. L. coridon is a sedentary organism which means that they do not travel very far within their habitat range. These individuals have the tendency to stay within their habitat patch rather than perform long migrations to find new habitats.\nDistribution:\nThis species can be found in the Palearctic realm (western Europe, southern Europe, central Europe. The range of L. coridon occurs throughout Central Europe, and is endemic to Europe. It is not found in the countries of Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, the Iberian Peninsula, the Mediterranean islands (source Wikipedia). \n\nThe Picture is made along a small River in the Eifel (Germany) in halfway August 2021.
