KAPADOKYA polyommatus turcicus

"Polyommatus turcicus," commonly known as the Anatolian Blue, is a species of butterfly that is endemic to Turkey, particularly thriving in the unique landscapes of Cappadocia (Kapadokya). This region, renowned for its dramatic rock formations, caves, and steep valleys, provides an ideal habitat for this species. The Anatolian Blue is characterized by its vibrant blue wings, which are more pronounced in males, while females typically display a more subdued blue with brownish edges.

This butterfly favors sunny, open spaces where it can find the nectar-rich flowers that are crucial for its survival. It is often seen fluttering close to the ground, around low-growing vegetation. The presence of Polyommatus turcicus in Cappadocia not only adds to the biodiversity of this unique geographical area but also highlights the ecological importance of maintaining these natural habitats to support various species, including endemic ones like the Anatolian Blue.
