My good deed for the day - I rescued this beautiful little Holly Blue from a watery end this evening.
Think it’s a female but hard to tell with wet wings.
Found her upside down in a puddle on the Comber Road surrounded by cherry blossom (like a scene from “Melancholia”).
Picked her up and carried her to the nearest bush that was still in sunlight. It was hawthorn but there was ivy higher up.
Hope she survives the night 🤞🏻🦋
