2022-07-01 Heatherhill, Sjælland, Denmark Imago. Male. Compared to Idas Blue [Foranderlig Blåfugl]: Broad diffuse black border to upperside. Also almost no black border to the front of the forewing. Black spots within the orange band on the underside of the hindwing, are smaller and not so round as seen on Idas Blue. It also shows more blue on the underside, radiating from the wing attachment toward the tip of the wing. |

2022-07-12 Horna Grushåla, Åhus, Scania, Sweden Imago. Male. Silver-studded and Idas are very similar underneath, but in general Silver-studded shows more turquoise-blue to the base of the underside and body, why I'm confident to call this one an SS. |

2022-07-12 Horna Grushåla, Åhus, Scania, Sweden Imago. Male. A straight forward individual with broad and ill-defined black border. According to Norden Fjärilar, Bo Söderström, the black spots on the underside of the hindwing are generally smaller and not so round on Silver-studded, which is certainly not the case here, where they look large and round. Apparently nobody else mentions this as a useful field character, and I start to think that it is only of supporting quality rather than something to rely on. |

2022-07-12 Horna Grushåla, Åhus, Scania, Sweden Imago. Male. The black front edge of the frontwing is supposed to fade away on this species compared to Idas, which seems to be supported on this individual. |
