Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon)

One of the first butterflies I've seen this season (definitely the first i've captured on camera)! At a meadowy powerline cut, resting on some old flowerheads.

  Thanks :) It felt like spring today. I was feeling rough, but Jason helped me walk around on the flat ground at my favorite clearing. Posted one month ago
