2020-08-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Male. Another colorless underwing that at first made me all excited, hoping that I finally found a different blue on the island. |

2020-08-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Male. Worn, why the underside is very faded and probably why the body is lacking hairs. The faded appearance could be why the species-diagnostic black spot in the Cell, underside hindwing, is absent, rather than the animal being of a true variant. |

2020-08-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Male. Weakly marked individual, as many have been lately. The Cell spot on the forewing is barely visible and no orange spots at all. Speculating if the little rain we've had during the summer and now a high pressure which has brought 30 degrees C to Denmark, continuing a week at least, has had any influence on the health of the population on Amager, making them weaker than usual? |

2020-08-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Female. Looks like a piece of both forewings is missing in symmetrical positions making me wonder if it has been attacked by something, taking a bite..? |

2020-08-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Female. Fresh and typical. As much of it you can see. Perhaps the same as 423. |

2020-08-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Female. Extremely worn, showing almost no traces of markings on the underwing. Fair to id it as this, simply because it is the only expected blue in the area. |

2021-05-28 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Ellevehøj-sporet. A few early animals flying around. Here a male without the spot proximally in the cell of the underside of the forewing. Interesting to see the underside shining through in picture 1. |

2021-06-08 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Imago. Female. A worn example. It looks like the females at this time of year are very small and very dark on Amager. Not something you can see here, but I've noticed it when driving around. Most individuals are seen along the dike in the scarce and short vegetation. |
