Celastrina argiolus is a common resident in the Netherlands. The species is distributed in a great part of Europe, except Scotland and Northern Scandinavia. It occurs in a variety of habitats, even in City centres. The larval food plants differ between the spring and summer generation. In Spring, the females often lay their eggs on Rhamnus frangula and Ilex aquifolium. In summer, they tend to use later flowering species like Hedera helix, Calluna vulgaris or Lythrum salicaria. Holly Blue flies in two generations from mid-April until end-August and hibernates as pupa. During the 20th century numbers probably remained stable.
