Species 24 - Holly Blue

I've mentioned this species on previous occasions, apart from Large white, the only Butterfly we've had in the garden this year. Whilst those other species may not be doing so well this year that can't be said of Holly Blue as there are far more around than I remember previously. I guess there's been a very good hatch this year. Holly Blue is just about the only blue butterfly likely to be seen in your garden. The caterpillars feed on Ivy so I'm hopeful they will breed as we have a large amount of this plant species now.
