Silver-studded Blues.

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.

Whilst I failed to find a female on her own there were plenty of opportunities to capture mating pairs.
