Another Brown Argus Butterfly Please?

Post by Mike Robinson »

Sorry to bother but I seem to be seeing quite a lot of Brown Argus Butterflies at the moment but not too many female Common Blue Butterflies; including the character in the picture.

I need reassurance please to confirm I'm not going off on completely the wrong track.

The Figure of Eight here seems to be very defined; and there is no addtional spot on the underside of the forewing (which would show on a female Common Blue Butterfly).

Which points me to Brown Argus Please?

Thanks very much.

Hi Mike,

You're on the money. Definitely a male Brown Argus.

Good hunting.

Kind regards. Mark
