Just by habitat,i would not expect to find many holly blues in grass ,they prefer to be higher up in shrubs and as far as im aware do not form colonies in grass.i think they are more wanderers like the whites but im happy to be corrected
It was seen in a woodland glade which sounds like Holly Blue habitat to me. They often come to the ground to take up salts,etc + found on damp mud, droppings, etc.
