Found in Black Sea region. I am not 100% sure of this identification. I know that it is some kind of blue, and I have researched the butterfly and the Vogel's Blue, (below) resembles it closely. However, if you look carefully, you can see that the black markings on the side of the wing differ considerably.

The Spalding's Dotted-Blue (Euphilotes spaldingi) (below) is a more probable possibility. I could not find another picture of it, though, and I am not sure if this one is very dependable, as it has a reddish light to it, which is probably film lighting, but could be the natural color of the butterfly.
