The species is classified as 'susceptible' on the 2006 Red List.Brown Argus Butterfly occurs on nutrient-poor grasslands on dry, sandy soils in an open landscape, as in the (coastal) dunes and along dykes, roads and railways tracks.Several species of Geraniaceae are used as larval food plant.The species flies in two  generations from early May until early September, and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar.This Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.

Wings are bright blue. Females have black wing edges. Undersides pale blue with small black spots which distinguish them from Common Blue.\nThe Holly Blue is easily identified in early spring, as it emerges well before other blue butterflies. It tends to fly high around bushes and trees, whereas other grassland blues usually stay near ground level. It is much the commonest blue found in parks and gardens where it congregates around Holly (in spring) and Ivy (in late summer).

The Common Blue is the most widespread blue butterfly in Britain and Ireland and is found in a variety of grassy habitats.\nThe brightly coloured males are conspicuous but females are more secretive. The colour of the upperwings of females varies from almost completely brown in southern England to predominantly blue in western Ireland and Scotland, but the colour is variable within local populations with some striking examples. Unlike Adonis and Chalkhill Blues, the dark veins do not extend into white fringes of wing margin
