Not the best picture of #BlueBugs 🦋🩵but there were zillions of these tiny little blue damselflies everywhere at Lake Awosting in Minnewaska State Park, NY in July 2022.
I like this idea! Let’s show off some beautiful blue bugs :)))

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.

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?
A Blue Dasher dragonfly looking squarely toward the camera. It has black legs and a white face with blue highlights and mostly clear wings.
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
Photo of a pinned tropical moth, aquamarine in color.
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
Light blue beetle with small black spots scattered across it
One of my favorite beetles - Blue Fungus Beetle (Cypherotylus californicus), which were really common in Colorado in the right habitat. #BlueMonday #BlueBug #bugs #bluebugs
macro photo of a taupe damselfly with a bit of white under their torso and at their tale tip. their eyes and front of their face are vibrant turquoise blue. they are perched on a think vertical stick and their wings are spread out to their sides.
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!
