First of three re overseas id

Post by Paulcrook »

Trying to tidy up my photos and have found a few I'm not sure of. I might have asked about some of these before but can anyone help with the following. This is page 1 of 3 I am posting. These were all taken in Sweden in June/July.

Thanks

All the best
Paul

I think the first one is a female holly blue but I have not noticed a female holly blue having the spots along bottom on hindwings upperside like that one does in your image, don't quote me on that, rest I don't know.
Cheers all,

1. Holly Blue
2. Geranium Argus
3. ?Frigga's Fritillary
4. ?ditto
5. Pearl-bordered Frit.

I don't suppose you have undersides of the frits?

I'd rather go for B. thore on 3 and 4, though I can't say for certain either. B. frigga prefers swamps and the like and neither of the backgrounds looks like that.
