Default What Buterfly is this??

I saw this tiny butterfly in my garden, but have never seen it before. It isn't a blue, small blue or miami blue, so I don't have any more ideas what it could be!




All help appreciated!

Looks like a Holly blue but could be a common as there are large regional variations in colouring.

UK Butterflies - Holly Blue - Celastrina argiolus

Thanks. Never seen one before this year, but it likes a plant in our garden. I hope they breed they're so

I saw a butterfly in my daughters garden yesterday.
It looked like a cabbage white but it had big bright orange tips to it's wings.
I've never seen one like that before.
Sorry I ddint' get pics but what might that one have been???
