This is an European Species with a increase in the Southern Parts of Europe.Habitat: This Blue butterfly occurs on both dry and wet Heathland, often in the transition zone between the wet and drier parts. The habitat has short, sparse vegetation and patches of bare ground, with young seedlings of Calluna vulgaris or Erica tetralix, the preferred larval food plants.Flight Season: The species flies in one generation from the end of June until early August and hibernates as an egg. Various ants, notable Lasius species, are attracted to the caterpillars and pupae.To keep the Heathland in the early stages of succession, measures, such as sod cutting on a small scale and extensive grazing, are recommended.This Picture is made in the Province of Utrecht in the end of June 2022.

The photo depicts that the male and female butterflies are mating. During the mating process, when their bodies are joined, the male passes sperm to the female. As the eggs later pass through the female's egg-laying tube, they are fertilised by the sperm. The male butterfly often dies soon after mating. Both male and female gives off scent to communicate with each other, releasing pheromones to attract each other. Some female harmones are so powerful that a male butterfly can sense them 10 miles away.
