No, I haven’t been on a whirlwind trip to Scandinavia, more’s the pity. I’ve just read that the Holly blue (Celastrina argiolus) is not only native to Britain but can also be found throughout the Palearctic, and is the national butterfly of Finland. Well done the Finns for recognising the beauty of this gorgeous creature. And well done this particular Holly blue for sitting still for a few minutes yesterday so I could grab a few quick photos.
