Adonis Blue butterfly – Foil Greeting Cards
An Adonis Blue butterfly foil printed greeting card shows a single butterfly in detail. This particular design was requested by Kent Wildlife Trust.
The design is printed with ultra fine silver foil then overprinted with ink – creating depths of colour variations and tints with a metallic effect. The image has been designed to shine in any light source to reveal the many colour tones, enabling the subject to be as true to form as possible.
“The Adonis Blue is a species of chalk downland, where it may be found in warm, sheltered spots. The male Adonis Blue has brilliantly-coloured blue wings that gives this butterfly its name, and can be found flying low over vegetation, seeking out the less-conspicuous females that are a rich chocolate brown in colour. Like its close relative, the Chalk Hill Blue, the distribution of this species follows the distribution of Horseshoe Vetch which, in turn, follows the distribution of chalk and limestone grassland. However, this species has a more restricted distribution than the Chalk Hill Blue, indicating more precise habitat requirements. This butterfly can be found in large numbers where it does occur, such as the chalk downloads of Dorset, South Wiltshire, West Sussex, East Sussex and East Kent. This species is absent from central England, northern England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This species lives in discrete colonies.” *
