Brown blue butterflies

28th July 2009, Tuesday

A small member of the “Blue” family is now on the wing, but both sexes of the Brown Argus are not blue. More info here.  Look for them where their food plants are common - stork’sbill and cranesbill. They are smaller than the Common Blues that are with them.
