Glaucopsyche alexis is increasing but still a rare spring species in Belgium only found in the very south of the country. It's not too critical on larval foodplant, several Fabaceae will do. In S Europe it's common so climate will be one of the limiting factors in 🇧🇪

Forget 'Blue' Monday! Today we're celebrating #BlueBugs with the stunning Small Blue (Cupido minimus) 💙🦋

With a wingspan up to 30mm, it is the UK's smallest resident butterfly.

This friendly individual was filmed by Species on the Edge Officer Tracy Munro.

The blue form of the Parent Bug (Elasmucha grisea) gives us something to look forward to!

From shimmering butterflies to striking fungi, these blue species show just how uplifting the natural world can be. Protecting wildlife like this doesn’t just benefit #nature - it lifts us too.

Every year I try to repurpose #BlueMonday (which we all know is a load of 💩) and advocate for #insects by showcasing some beautiful BLUE BUGS!

What comes after the #BlueBugs of #BlueMonday? Surely it has to be the red representatives of #RubyTuesday? 😉

Already this year there have been reports of sightings of Red Admiral in the UK. Have you seen one yet?

One of the best bugs to get to know is the Blue Dasher #dragonfly. It’s exceptionally confiding. And fun to watch as it often jostles with bigger dragonflies. This female has delicate blue features on the front of her face. #BlueMonday #BlueBugs

Pyraloid moths aren't into blue so much, but this Parotis sp. from Indonesia is a delicate aquamarine. Parotis prasinalis in Madagascar looks similar. Specimen in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods / FLMNH McGuire Center. #BlueBugs

One of my favorite beetles - Blue Fungus Beetle (Cypherotylus californicus), which were really common in Colorado in the right habitat. #BlueMonday #BlueBug #bugs #bluebugs

Bringing a special POP! of Blue to #BlueMonday is the California Spreadwing Damselfly (Archilestes californicus)

I didn't even know spreadwing damsels existed until I moved into The Albatross!
