Hello, I found this blue and white insect with black spots on the underside of the wings in London, UK. I think it might be a common blue butterfly, but I’m not sure. Here are some pictures IMG_1300.jpeg :

Lycaenidae, probably Polyommatinae sub family. Lepidoptera experts often have trouble narrowing it down to genus, let alone species. Consulte the local entomologists where it was found.
