Field Notes
Description:
This tiny butterfly (ws approx 3-4cm) landed just infront of me and stayed for ages on this flower. it is very similar to the common blue also found in the area but this one has the two brown spots on the upper dorsal wing and the 'joined together' spot on the upper ventral wing that the common blue lacks. this one seemed more settled than the other larger butterflies in the same field and let me get some good shots of it.
Habitat:
seen in some scrublands/ empty open field by the side of the road in Moraira near my Dad's villa.
