Is this anything other than a common blue? It was taken between calais and Wimereaux on the french coast on 16th Aug. It appeared a paler blue and seemed to lack a distinct black line around the fringes of its wings. Thanks for looking. Sorry, it's not as sharp as would be desired. Rich Unknown blue...

Thanks Mike. Until I can get my hands on a reasonably priced, but good, Moth guide I'll record this as a Grass Moth. I've looked on the Uk Moth site ( http://ukmoths.org.uk/index.php ). The problem is that there are hundreds of pictures to trawl through, and with so many species and sub-groups id is...

That's a Brown Argus, Rich!
