Mud puddling butterflies

Mud puddling butterflies
Mud-puddling, or simply puddling, is a behaviour most conspicuous in butterflies, but occurs in other animals as well, mainly insects; they seek out nutrients in certain moist substances such as rotting plant matter, mud and carrion and they suck up the fluid.

I think these are both the common blue butterfly or European common blue (Polyommatus icarus).

We'll be away for a few days. Enjoy the forthcoming week.

Two beautiful images of these gorgeous little butterflies. You've captured them in lovely detail and colours. An interesting narrative, I've seen the behaviour, but had no idea what it was called.

Enjoy your time away Amelia..........and stay safe.
