I did some research on quebec.butterflyguide.ca and think it might be a European Common Blue. The flower is English lavender.
D90, 105mm, f/9, 1/125, ISO 400, handheld, original frame. July 2021.

I'm struck with how the butterfly's colors match the flowers-at least the ones not in bloom. This makes for a nice harmonious combination. Perhaps it is also an effective camouflage. Nicely done!
