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.

A teeny-tiny, itsty-bitsy little spider called a banded phintella.
Slender blue skimmer
Indonesian Mole crab
blue tiger

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!
