The Small Blue Butterfly
Cupido minimus is
an inconspicuous insect that is limited in its distribution by the availability
of
Kidney Vetch Anthyllis vulneraria,
the sole larval foodplant. It is therefore predominantly to be found in
discrete colonies, often on the southern facing slopes of chalk downland,
although it may be locally numerous at these sites.
