A beautiful photo, Mies.

But I am sure this is a Holly Blue, Celastrina argiolus.

I'd love to enter into the dialogue with you and Andrea, and say something like, "no, this is the Astralagus Monotrachea," but I don't know one name from another (and there's no such thing as an "astralagus monotrachea," I totally made that up!). But whatever it is, it's a stunning capture: You captured almost taffeta wings, and in such contrast to those yellows. A beautiful photo, with those spindly legs balancing so well on the flower tops. It seems almost impossible; but for an insect, those legs are probably very strong. Beautiful macro work, Mies.
