Could anyone suggest what type of Blue these are ? They are from the Hérault in the South of France.
The upperside was pale blue with a broad dark margin.
Merci

Hi Charles.
My initial thought was Chalk-hill Blue ...perhaps Provence Chalk-hill Blue (Lysandra hispana) due to locality
Where's Padfield when you need him

Hello!
I'm actually incapacitated at the moment, but it's nice to be missed!
Can you give the date for these? Prvençal CHB is certainly a possibility.
