Cannot help with the ID but, in the top two pictures, it's a female butterfly ovipositing ~ egg laying.

Thank you for your input, Cotswold Cockney. I had noticed myself that the female was laying eggs - an interesting behaviour to look at.

It's Plebejus argyrognomon. No comment right now because I'm in a bar, waiting for a train!
