Mother name it seems is partial to details. It seems a little unfair that this beautiful butterfly would be called the “common blue”. In flight it appears to be a bit of summer blue sky (particularly the males which are bluer than the females photographed below).

    Such a pretty little thing! I often wonder about things named ‘common’ which probably once were to get that moniker, but what if they are no longer common due to habitat loss, etc? Do we rename them ‘Rare?’
