A Blue Wave butterfly (Myscelia cyaniris) resting with wings open at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado. I kept the background subdued so the blue pattern could quietly take center stage.

A Blue Wave butterfly (Myscelia cyaniris) rests with its wings fully open on a textured rock at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado. Bright electric-blue bands stretch across dark wings, with subtle white spots near the edges and softly muted stone in the background.

Smlouva na monitoring podepsaná, tak ať už je jaro. Modrásek lesní - Cyaniris semiargus. Jeden z druhů naší Modráskové louky. V červeném seznamu zranitelný. Přesně ten druh u kterého platí všeho s mírou. Nenechávat lokality zarůst, ale ani to s péčí nepřehánět - mozaiková seč, extenzivní pastva

Cyaniris semiargus (Rottemburg) Mazarine Blue, of warm, humid, clover-rich meadows. Lays eggs on flowers in midsummer, often on regrowth post hay cut. Extinct in UK since mid-19th C. (? loss of clover-rich lowland grasslands?)

Für den Rotklee-Bläuling (Cyaniris semiargus) spricht die Flugzeit und der Lebensraum passt auch. Außerdem kann man am Flügelansatz einen Hauch von Blau erkennen (?), den nausithous nicht hat. Passt also eigentlich viel besser.
