Common blue or brown argus

Post by Gwenhwyfar »

I always thought i had a female common blue since it was mixing it with the male commons, but on second look i now think it's a brown argus.
I know it's been said before about these two, but just want to be certain.

I'd definitely go with Brown Argus. This thread might help:
