@violetdale submitted: Hello. I found this tiny guy (grass seed for scale) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

What a lil cutie! Love their striped antennae. Definitely one of the blue butterflies, probably a silvery blue.

L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, a temporary artwork for Paris, 

The Arc de Triomphe will be wrapped in 25,000 square meters of recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue, and with 3,000 meters of red rope.

In 1961, three years after they met in Paris, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began creating works of art in public spaces. One of their projects was to wrap a public building. When he arrived in Paris, Christo rented a small room near the Arc de Triomphe and had been attracted by the monument ever since. 

In 1962, he made a photomontage of the Arc de Triomphe wrapped, seen from the Avenue Foch and, in 1988, a collage. 60 years later, the project will finally be concretized.

L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped is entirely funded by the Estate of Christo V. Javacheff, through the sale of Christo's preparatory studies, drawings, and collages of the project as well as scale models, works from the 1950s and 1960s, and original lithographs on other subjects. It receives no public funds.

Christo and Jeanne Claude Concept,

In partnership with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux and in coordination with the City of Paris.

Regulus will get a tattoo of a star over his heart. It'll be red/orange.

Can anyone help identify this lovely butterfly? Found in Atlantic Canada

When I first saw it I thought it would be a silvery blue, but it doesn’t have the row of black spots
