Description
Ieri , purtroppo , il mio Canon 70-300 mi ha abbandonato , non riesce più a mettere a fuoco il soggetto ( mi ha fatto sfuggire stamani un gruppo di circa 15 anatre in volo ). Una vera jella , se si pensa che è stato rimesso a nuovo meno di un anno fa dalla Canon . Non mi preoccupo per le foto , ne ho abbastanza per vari anni , ma mi piace la caccia fotografica ( ieri , ad esempio , ho avvistato e fotografato una cicogna nei campi a Bozzano , due giorni fa un gruppo di gru), un modo interessante di stare all’aperto a godere dell’aria buona e del panorama.
Yesterday, unfortunately, my Canon 70-300 has forsaken me, no longer able to focus on the subject (I did this morning to escape a group of about 15 ducks in flight). A real bad luck, if you think that has been put forward less than a year ago by Canon. I do not care for the photos, I'm done for several years, but I like the photo hunting (yesterday, for example, I spotted and photographed a stork in the fields Bozzano, two days ago a group of cranes), an interesting way to be outdoors to enjoy good air and the view.
A questo punto ho deciso di vedere se trovavo qualche buon soggetto per foto macro , non c’era molto , ma qualcosa comincia a muoversi e una piccola farfalla è stata buona a farsi le foto.
At this point I decided to see if you find some good subject for macro photography, there was not much, but something starts to move and a small butterfly was good to get the picture.
Lycaenidae Polyommatinae Polyommatini
Celastrina argiolus (Linnaeus, 1758)
Holly Blue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus), is a butterfly that belongs to the Lycaenids or Blues family and is native to Eurasia and North America.
In India, it is known as the Hill Hedge Blue
In Europe, the first generation feeds mainly on Holly (Ilex aquifolium) but the second generation uses a range of foodplant]
This species was originally described as Papilio argiolus by Linnaeus in 1758, and refers to the examples flying in Europe. In their monograph on the Lycaenopsis group of polyommatine genera, Eliot & Kawazoe, 1983, list 14 taxa as valid subspecies names, plus many further synonyms to which they accord lesser status. According to Eliot & Kawazoe, 1983, these 14 subspecies are divided into four groups .
Good evening and good weekend

Beautiful image. The blue and pink colors of the wings give it a very delicate look against the sturdy green leaf. Lovely light coming through the wings.
