The Common Blue is the most widespread blue butterfly in Britain and Ireland and is found in a variety of grassy habitats.\nThe brightly coloured males are conspicuous but females are more secretive. The colour of the upperwings of females varies from almost completely brown in southern England to predominantly blue in western Ireland and Scotland, but the colour is variable within local populations with some striking examples. Unlike Adonis and Chalkhill Blues, the dark veins do not extend into white fringes of wing margin
Eastern tailed blue butterfly on plant stem
Polyommatus icarus is a common resident in the Netherlands.\nHabitat: The species occurs in a variety of flower-rich places, irrespective of nutrient level, pH or humidity. habitats include waste ground, grasslands and roadside verges.\nFood plants: Several species of Fabaceae serve as larval food plant.\nFlight Season: Common Blue flies in two, sometimes three generations from mid-May until the end of August, and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar.\nDistribution: A common species in a great part of Europe, except the north of Scandinavia.\n\nThis Butterfly is one of the most common Blue Butterflies in the Netherlands.

Plebeius argus is a scarce resident in the Netherlands. The distribution shrunk during the last century. It is no longer found in the coastal dunes, except for those on the Frisian Islands.\nThe species is classified as vulnerable on the 2006 Red List. This is an European Species with a increase in the Southern Parts of Europe.\nHabitat: This Blue butterfly occurs on both dry and wet Heathland, often in the transition zone between the wet and drier parts. The habitat has short, sparse vegetation and patches of bare ground, with young seedlings of Calluna vulgaris or Erica tetralix, the preferred larval food plants.\nFlight Season: The species flies in one generation from the end of June until early August and hibernates as an egg. Various ants, notable Lasius species, are attracted to the caterpillars and pupae.\n\nTo keep the Heathland in the early stages of succession, measures, such as sod cutting on a small scale and extensive grazing, are recommended.\n\nThis Picture is made in the Province of Utrecht in the end of June 2022.

Holly Blue Butterfly
blue betterfly on a flower -Polyommatus icarus
Wings are bright blue. Females have black wing edges. Undersides pale blue with small black spots which distinguish them from Common Blue.\nThe Holly Blue is easily identified in early spring, as it emerges well before other blue butterflies. It tends to fly high around bushes and trees, whereas other grassland blues usually stay near ground level. It is much the commonest blue found in parks and gardens where it congregates around Holly (in spring) and Ivy (in late summer).
