I promise not to spam this community with random pics, but I adore common blues, and was delighted when I stumbled upon this. I somehow never see them in pairs. I figured I’d share!

    Yes, the males got all the fancy colors ♥ (although the ventral sides are pretty on both).

    I hope to see more this year. There is a real nice spot behind a supermarket close by, where they installed a hive (protected in a cage) and let the grass and wildflowers grow. It was the hot mating area for bugs of all sorts last time I went. We’re just out of a heat wave, though, so I’ll have to see how the place took to the blistering sun…

    And if you don’t mind my own pics… 😎

      Whoah! It was pretty from above but the spots paired with the powdery blue wings is next level. Great shots, too!

          Absolutely! I love them and their dragonfly brethren, and always anticipate their emergence: go get those mosquitoes (and other things) little dudes!
