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