$Lycaena phlaeas is a common resident in the Netherlands. \nHabitat: The species inhabits a variety of places, including rather nutrient-poor, dry grasslands, gardens, roadside verges, Heathland and coastal dunes, generally these are dry areas with sheltered, sunny spots. Surprisingly, however, the highest densities are found in wet, nutrient-poor grassland.\nDistribution: Its distribution hardly changed during the 20th century.\nFlying Season: The Small Copper flies in three generations from the end of April until the end of September and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar.$

$Plebejus argus is a scarce resident in the Netherlands. The distribution shrunk during the last century. It is no longer found in the coastal dunes, except for those on the Frisian Islands.\nThe species is classified as vulnerable on the 2006 Red List. This is an European Species with a increase in the Southern Parts of Europe.\nHabitat: This Blue butterfly occurs on both dry and wet Heathland, often in the transition zone between the wet and drier parts. The habitat has short, sparse vegetation and patches of bare ground, with young seedlings of Calluna vulgaris or Erica tetralix, the preferred larval food plants.\nFlight Season: The species flies in one generation from the end of June until early August and hibernates as an egg. Various ants, notable Lasius species, are attracted to the caterpillars and pupae.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.$

$Lycaena helle, the violet copper, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found from the Pyrenees to northern Norway and from Belgium east across the Palearctic to Central Asia, Siberia and Amur.The wingspan is 24–26 mm. The butterfly flies from May to July depending on the location.\nDescription from Seitz:\nC. amphidamas Esp. (= xanthe Lang, helle Schiff.). Smaller than the preceding forms, at the most as large as small phlaeas. Upperside dark brown, in the females of the spring brood the disc of the forewing reddish yellow, both wings with a sky-blue gloss, which is especially strong in the sun in live specimens. On the underside there is before the red submarginal band of the hindwing an always distinct bluish white lunate band, which in the female is usually continued on to the forewing and is accompanied by black dots. The summer-form obscura Ruhl is darker above and more yellow beneath. Otherwise the variability is less than in other Chrysophanus. Specimens from the high North have been separated as lapponica Backhaus, and Wheeler mentions that the gloss is more blue in some districts and more violet in others. — In Central and North Europe, from Belgium, Baden, and Switzerland eastward to Amurland and northward to Scandinavia and Lapland, sporadic and absent from large districts. \nEggs are laying in June and autumn on Polygonum bistorta (said to occur also on Rumex). The butterflies are on the wing in May and again in July and August in damp meadows, very plentiful at their flight-places. In the north the species is found especially in the plains, while in the south of its area it is more plentiful in the mountains, where it occurs up to 2000m (source Wikipedia). \nNowadays vulnerable in the South of Belgium and the Eifel.\n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the Eifel (Germany) in June 2019.$
