A close up of a small bright blue butterfly in short sward grass.
One of the highlights of my year was seeing the striking Adonis blue (Polyommatus bellargus) across a few sites in Folkestone (05/06/2024). Photos really don't do it justice.

Surprisingly it's not a beetle, but the first time I went to portugal with my camera I remember being blown away by Zerynthia rumina. Still one of my absolute favourites.
