$Green-veined white is a very common resident in the Netherlands. The species prefers more natural habitats than the other Whites. It mainly occurs in relative humid habitats, such as woodland edges, woodland clearings and grasslands, but also found at he edge of heathland and in gardens and parks. Cardamine pratensis and Alliaria petiola are mostly used as larval foodplants.\nThe species flies in three generations and hibernates as a pupa. Due to prolonged emergence from the pupa, the different generations overlap and butterflies can be seen almost continuously from the end of April until the beginning of September.\nDistribution: Throughout Europe.$

$The small blue (Cupido minimus) is a Palearctic butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. Despite its common name, it is not particularly blue. The male has some bluish suffusion at the base of its upper wings but is mostly dark brown like the female. The species can live in colonies of up to several hundred and in its caterpillar stage is cannibalistic.\nDescription:\nSmall blue males are dark brown with a scattering of bright blue scales that speckle their wings. Females lack this blue speckling. Both males and females exhibit the characteristic silver underside with black spots. The male has a bluish tint at the base of its wings similar to the upper side. Their wingspan can fall anywhere from 16-27mm, but males tend to be the smaller sex.\nHabitat:\nC. minimus live in calcareous grasslands, abandoned quarries, railway and embankments and woodland edges and clearings.\nFood plants:\nRecorded larval food plants are Oxytropis campestris, Astragalus alpinus, Lotus corniculatus, Anthyllis vulneraria, Melilotus, Coronilla, Medicago, Anthyllis vulneraria, Astragalus glycyphyllos and Astragalus cicer. \nIn the UK, small blues lay their eggs, live, and feed exclusively on the kidney vetch. While females obtain all of their nutrients from plants, males will extract salts and minerals from carrion, dung, and mud puddles. \nFlying season:\nThe adult small blue has a lifespan of about three months. In the southern United Kingdom, there are two broods a summer. One is in June, and the other in August with the second brood being smaller. However, in the northern part of the United Kingdom, only the June brood is present. The small blue is diurnal, and often lives in colonies. While most colonies consist of a few dozen individuals, colonies of several hundred have been recorded. \nDistribution:\nC. minimus is found troughout Europe (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the Eifel (Germany) in June 2019.$

$Flowers and butterflies form a perfect partnership in sustaining ecosystems. Flowers provide nectar, while butterflies act as pollinators, ensuring the reproduction of countless plant species. This vital relationship supports biodiversity, enhances food security, and maintains healthy ecosystems. Protecting both flowers and butterfly habitats is essential for a thriving, sustainable planet.\nLocation: Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India)$
