Silver-Studded Blue

The Silver-studded Blue butterfly.
This species exists in small tight colonies in just a few locations in Southern UK.  You will be surprised to know that it rarely flies any further than 20 metres in its lifetime. Fortunately for me it does exist in Dorset and in particular on the chalk heathland of Portland, where I found these shown below.

    Hei Roy! Se on niin kaunis perhonen. Hankala kuvata, kun ei suostu pysymään paikoillaan;-))
