The Large Blue (Phengaris arion, also known as Maculinea arion and Glaucopsyche arion) is a blue butterfly, that is resident in Europe and some parts of Asia.
The butterfly became extinct in the United Kingdom in 1979, but has since been reintroduced by conservationists UK BAP Status: Priority Species.
Conservation efforts have, until recently, been hindered by very limited knowledge of the butterfly's complicated life cycle.
Uncommon everywhere in the world, the Large Blue Butterfly primarily resides in heaths, sand dunes and hillsides.
