I see this little butterfly throughout the spring, summer and fall in my neighborhood in Toronto. This is a male European Common Blue Polyommatus icarus.

The Indian Peafowl, observation here, is known for its strikingly blue neck. The adult males have long tails which are used for a special dance during courtship display.

This Indian Roller, observation here, may look dull from outside, but, when it flies down to catch a bug the different shades of blue are visible in the inner wing.

A while back when I added to this thread, I implied that I’ve only ever photographed 1 blue agaric, but that’s really not the case!


Subgenus Cyanula in Entoloma! Very small mushroom, really didn’t get much of a chance to image it nicely.


The beautiful light teal of the gills of this Collybia odora specimen :) I’ve heard that they can get a lot more blue than this.

Indian Paradise-Flycatcher

A… dark-footed tinypore? I’m not that great with fungi, so this is probably a wrong id.

Peafowl

Loten’s sunbird

Greater racket-tailed drongo

Brown backed Red marsh hawk- A bit more grey-ish, but I’ll add it anyways.


A teeny-tiny, itsty-bitsy little spider called a banded phintella.

Slender blue skimmer

Indonesian Mole crab

blue tiger

White-throated Kingfisher

Genus Kolla?!

Sorry for bad/blurry photos, most of these were taken from a long distance (or were too small for my mobile to focus on).

Here’s an Narrow-banded Bluebottle, observation here, it is mostly found in the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka. Currently this one’s having fun visiting one of its favourite plants, a Cinnamomum!
