Spotted Cupido minimus this morning, the smallest Irish butterfly if I am not mistaken.

By change spotted this Cupido minimus (I think) aka. “Small Blue” outside the front door on the hedge. The smallest Irish butterfly if I am not mistaken.

Great to see Spring getting into full swing/

Thanks :blush: . I do come across this butterfly more often in Ireland, however, a first so close to home within a bulit up area

@Jim_Allen are good images of a species that I did not know, there is a lot of variety in them … thanks for this contribution!
