Male & Female Adonis Blue Butterfly on Trefoil & Vetch

The Adonis Blue is a species of chalk downland, where it may be found in warm, sheltered spots. The male Adonis Blue has brilliantly-coloured blue wings and can be found flying low over vegetation, seeking out the less-conspicuous females that are a rich chocolate brown in colour. The distribution of this species follows the distribution of Horseshoe Vetch which, in turn, follows the distribution of chalk and limestone grassland. Fabriano 185lb watercolour paper.
