2022-07-03 Bøtøskoven, Falster, Denmark Imago. Male. We didn't have much time to explore the large grassy field where it lives, why we only found 4 animals. But should be rather common here. And also glad to finally be able to get experience with the species, after having looked for it at Ulfshale twice, without finding any with certainty. The cleaner underside and the lack of a white wedge on the hindwing below, makes the comparison with Common Blue, a bit confusing. But I guess it's based on the fact that they both fly in the same habitat and that worn Common Blues soon can look very pale. Will be interesting to get more experience, next year!, to learn the differences better. |

2022-07-12 Horna Grushåla, Åhus, Scania, Sweden Imago. Male. Very worn, but the black ribbons on the upperside restricted to the outer part is visible and a indicator of this species. |

2022-07-12 Horna Grushåla, Åhus, Scania, Sweden Imago. A very worn individual without any traces of the orange band on the hindwing. Not sure about sex. I know it is normally the Common Blue that it gets compared to, but I think this individual resembles a Large Blue much better with the large black spots underneath. The latter, however, often shows a line of double dots along the edge, almost like stiches. which this animals doesn't show. |

2022-07-12 Horna Grushåla, Åhus, Scania, Sweden Imago. Probably a female. Very worn but still the orange band on the basal half of the hindwing is present making it straight forward to id it. |
