Silver studded blue butterflies are only found in the UK in southern, eastern england and wales. fortunately there is also a small colony 40 miles away from me in shropshire. This was taken early one morning with the butterflies on their favourite bell heather and when there was plenty of dew around.

14 commentsFine image of this pair of BFs, Graham. I like the mirrored comp, the light, the floral perch, the dew, and the bg. Simply outstanding.
I like this early morning light & heavy dew, lovely colors & complimentary BG Graham.
Excellent detail/DOF well done!
Well taken! Like the colors and details in both butterflies and the plant. Great that you caught both butterflies in a similar pose on the same plant. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Graham,
Nicely done on these two with interesting commentary.
Your web-site is very impressive, glad to see you posting at NPN again, can't wait to see more of your current work.

By-the-way, your 'Purchase Print' link did not work properly for this image.
How neat, a pair of dew covered butterflies on a lovely flower with a fine background. It doesn't get any better than this.
Exceptional capture, Graham, even if there weren't mirrored butterflies.
This is really beautiful, Graham! I love the butterflies, the flowers, the morning dew, and the soft colorful bg.
Graham - The day I find something like this to photograph, I would be jumping with joy. As you know already, this is a killer shot. Nothing more to say here.
Fantastic in every way! Can’t ask for more.
Exceptional capture, Graham, even if there weren't mirrored butterflies.
Graham ...Love the play of fine light in the frame. Like everthing of the image

Sweet symmetry, and a grand image.
Gorgeous, almost looks like the left side is the mirror image of the right side.
