Common Blue upper wings
Common Blue
Latin name: Polyommatus icarus
The male Common Blue butterfly is blue with a brown underside with orange and white-fringed black spots. The female butterfly is brown with a variable amount of blue dusting. The easy way to indentify the Common Blue is to look for the central spot on the underside of the forewing. The Common Blue lives on all types of grassland and prefers the Birds-foot Trefoil plant as a food source.
