The Small Blue is the smallest of all the British butterfly species, with a length of between 10 and 12mm it is indeed very small and the wingspan is around 27mm. It has two flight periods each year, the first being late May / early June and then there is often a second flight period in mid-August. Although the Small Blue is from the "blue family of butterflies", they are not very blue in colour, the male is more of a silver grey colour, and the female is actually quite brown.
