I think they created these bus shelters really for the bees but of course they both like flowers.  Butterflies also need the plants that they lay their eggs on and which their caterpillars will feed on and this is often not appreciated.

Blue butterflies are considered to be lucky.

The Holly blue may lay its eggs twice a year - in spring on the holly flowers and later in the year on ivy flowers.  You don't see an awful lot of either of those.
