Holly Blue and Echo Blue

Post by Dave McCormick »

Just saw this image of an Echo Blue (Celastrina echo) Is this similar or related to Holly Blue in anyway?

Looks very like holly blue. See them on this page: http://www.dereila.ca/dereilaimages/Butterflies2.html
Cheers all,

Yes - they belong to the same genus (Celastrina).
