Hi Roger and Guy,
The picture is from the underside, it has a whittish almost greyish background with small cell spots and faint orange markings on the unh and is blue at the base. The unf has some markings but not very clear. I don't really like posting pictures on the internet (I always think that they are not good enough) and the second problem is that I am still working with slides. However, I am also curious to know what it is and as I have a scanner at home, I will plug it in the computer this week end and will post a picture of this butterfly. If I were you I would not get too excited!! I am sure that you will recognize it straight away as a very common butterfly and probably something I have completely mis-identified!!
Roger, will you be in Savoie or Hte Savoie in July? If you are driving from the Var, I would recommend that you take the Route Napoléon (starting from Grasse) and stop on the way for butterflies.The scenery is also very pretty and the driving not too stressful. I will be in Hte Savoie 3rd week of July, I can give you some locations for butterflies if you wish although I would rather do this by email.
