TERATOLOGY: Spectacular abberation of Mazarine Blue

This is a Mazarine Blue. These days it is found across continental Europe, as far north as the Arctic Circle, and as far south as Morocco. In the 19th Century it was found in the UK, but it became extinct in 1906, probably because of changes in hayu-making procedures which harvested before the clover eating caterpillars had matured..

Look at this extraordinary new abberation, photographed in Switzerland by Guy Padfield...
