Lycaenidae, Polyommatinae, Polyommatus icarus. One of the most common butterflies in Europe and though sometimes tricky to ID. But I am quite confident, that these are Polyommatus icarus. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hauhechel-Bläuling,_Polyommatus_icarus_Paarung_1.JPG http://www.natur-schmetterlinge.ch/schmetterlinge-nach-familie/lycaenidae-bläulinge/polyommatus-icarus-hauhechelbläuling/ http://www.schmetterling-raupe.de/art/icarus.htm

Beautiful image Ivan, viewed separately would be easy to assume they were separate species.
