EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is an exquisite illustration of the Chalk-hill Blue butterfly, Lysandra coridon, as featured in Theo Johnson's Illustrations of British Butterflies: with occasional figures of the larva, pupa, and food-plant, published in 1878. The Chalk-hill Blue is a small, gossamer-winged butterfly belonging to the family Lycaenidae and the order Lepidoptera. It is native to Europe, particularly in chalk downlands and grasslands. The Chalk-hill Blue is easily recognizable by its vibrant blue wings, which are adorned with black borders and a distinctive orange patch near the base. The underside of the wings is a brownish hue, providing excellent camouflage against the chalky ground. This butterfly is a true beauty of the insect world, showcasing the intricate patterns and colors that characterize the Lepidoptera order. The illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Chalk-hill Blue, highlighting its long, slender body, delicate wings, and intricate wing veins. The larvae of this species feed on clover and other leguminous plants, while the adults primarily feed on nectar from various flowers. The Chalk-hill Blue is an important component of the invertebrate community, particularly in its native habitats. Its presence is an indicator of healthy grasslands and chalk downlands, making it an essential species for conservation efforts. This illustration not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Chalk-hill Blue but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving its habitat and the biodiversity it supports.
