The Silver-studded Blue (Plebejus argus) is a rare species that locally inhabits acid heathland which requires habitat management to provide a succession of sparse young heather. All these images were shot at Thursley Common in late June.

Great shots. It really is butterfly time of the year!
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Our continuing spell of hot, dry weather has certainly helped these flutters.
DeleteBeautiful specimens, Frank. Here, this month, the dragonflies and damselfly are abundant while butterflies seem to be less than normal...:)JP
