Unknown Lycenids and burnet caterpillars

Post by traplican »

This weekend was rich of Lycenids that I probably never saw before:

The Blue on the photos http://traplican.rajce.idnes.cz/Motyli_ ... 12_013.jpg - http://traplican.rajce.idnes.cz/Motyli_ ... 12_025.jpg is probably P. argyrognomon or idas but it seems different in comparison P. argyrognomon that I have snapped before for me.

Female http://traplican.rajce.idnes.cz/Motyli_ ... 12_045.jpg - http://traplican.rajce.idnes.cz/Motyli_ ... 12_061.jpg may be fresh P. argyrognomon and female http://traplican.rajce.idnes.cz/Motyli_ ... 13_052.jpg worn one.

Copper http://traplican.rajce.idnes.cz/Motyli_ ... 12_083.jpg and later seems like L. alciphron for me.

Today I have snapped some burnet caterpillars:

Can you help me with ID?

I just have obtained a message from CEI: Blues are argyrognomon and the Copper is hippothoe.
