Thank you so much.... to be honest I was a little mad because I was sitting there almost 10 minutes watching this butterfly and he refused to opn his wings the whole time.

But later on I realized how cool the small blue part looks like this.

At least Im not the only one who thinks the name sound odd... ok I have to admit the German name is not really that better its called "Hauhechel-Bläuling" here which is pretty much untranslatable

What are those words? *looks up on a dictionary* Okay... I don't find it
Only recognized "Blau" which should mean blue (color) but the rest is unknown to me. I learn a bit German in school.

Ok I looked it up again Hauhecheln (lat. Ononis) are plants (look it up on wiki) and Bläulinge are a family of day butterfly's the word means something like "it has a blueish color" (availabel in any other color e.g. rötling for red, grünling for green, etc.)

So the german name Hauhechel-Bläuling is a combination of the family of butterflys which it belongs to and it's main family of food plant's (citation needed).

Oh... I see. Yeah, when I looked it up on the Wikipedia, it gives me some kind of plants so I got confused. You cleared it up! Danke!
