Hi folks, I took these shots in the Loire valley France back in June, I would very much appreciate some ID confirmation as I never seen either of these before
I'm thinking short tailed blue ?
Green underside ?
Unfortunately I couldn't get images of the uppersides
Walking about some scrubby fields on the Island of Elba back in 1976, as I got into the car I noticed what appeared to be a fully grown Lycaenid larva on my sock. No idea how it got there but, I enclosed it in a match box with a flower head of some Vetch growing nearby. I used to smoke back then ~ not touched a fag for 30 years ~ It duly pupated and the following spring, a perfect Green Underside Blue emerged... Lovely things...
