ID wanted please

Could someone ID this Butterfly for me please

It's a small Blue Babs, Cupidus minimus, apparently the smallest British Butterfly. :)

Thanks very much for that rolf, it was determined not to open it's wings. took the photo at Southend, Kintyre.:)

Sorry I lie Babs, just checked again and although it seems a little washed out colour wise, it is actually a male Common Blue Polyomatus icarus, the difference is the coloured spots near the edge of the wings, very pale gold in this case, but there nonetheless. :)

I'll get this right one day. :)

No problem rolf, thanks for the positive ID. It was nice to see a couple of different butterflies:)

Coo, it's had a bit of a chunk taken out, hasn't it?

It has. It's been fighting or caught in a bush. They seam to manage though

I noticed that but I wasn't 100% seeing that I hadn't seen one before:)

Still a very good shot.Babs. We can't ll be perfect. Some times I think I have a chunk missing
( but I'm still gorgeous :-lmao)

Just 'a' chunk:-rofl I think it's a few:-rofl:14:

Well................. Maybe :-hide

.. a few chunks short of a chocolate bar?:-rofl

I don't touch the stuff. :whistling:
