Meet the Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus)—a small but striking butterfly fluttering across Europe, including the Netherlands. Males flaunt vivid blue wings edged in white, while females sport brown wings with orange spots and a hint of blue.

Active from May to October, they thrive in sunny meadows, grassy verges, and even urban parks. Their caterpillars favor legumes like bird’s-foot trefoil and clovers, making these plants essential for their survival.

Often seen basking in the sun or gathering in small groups, these butterflies are a delightful sight on warm days. Their presence indicates healthy, flower-rich habitats.

So, next time you're out enjoying nature, keep an eye out for this charming pollinator—it’s a true gem of the European landscape!
