Our last butterfly transect survey of the year at Horseshoe Plantation/ Belle Toute this afternoon. A total of six species and 30 individuals seen. Biggest surprise was seeing a Chalkhill blue, seems quite late in the season for it.

Two very good points made. It's an old joke. Also, modern Brits use so many spices. It's the holdout paleo-Brits who resemble chalkhill horseglyphs in complexion who refuse anything stronger or more exotic than added salt in their meat pies or more sugar lumps in their tea.

Nine butterfly species seen on the Horseshoe Plantation and Belle Toute transect this afternoon- including plenty of Common blues, two Walls and this very tatty Chalkhill Blue

I found a giant relative of Carline last week in the alps. Equally poppular with Chalkhill blues as ours is.

How do you ID the confusing array of small #blue #butterflies from the French Alps? The secret lies in their white fringe: L-R checkerboard for the Chalkhill, small black indents for the Common, a browner margin for the Damon and larger black veins for the Adonis. Easy!

All of the blues are, of course, gorgeous insects, but in the Montes Universales it's impossible to ignore or fail to fall hard for Azure Chalkhill Blue. Perhaps the most numerous butterfly of all when we visit, thousands are on the wing, fallen shards of sky at our feet.

We were there a week before. Apart from the Chalkhill Blues, we were struck by the masses of Wild Carrot. An amazing place.

As I'm fresh home from co-leading the @mariposanature.bsky.social Butterflies of the Montes Universales tour, and will be co-leading it again next year with one of my Spanish friends, it seems a good time to share some of my favourite species from the region, starting with Spanish Chalkhill Blue.

It's always a joy to meet good friends, both humans and non-humans, in nature. Here's one of my favourite, the Chalkhill Blue (Lysandra coridon, Silbergrüne Bläuling). Rare in many parts of Germany, but abundant in the Alps.
