Not been butterflying in the UK long so please excuse a newbie.
The Green Hairstreaks I saw on Saturday (for the first time) at Holtspur Bank were most definately green and turquoise. This little fella today at Sharpenhoe Clappers was blue and turquoise...is this common?

My experience is that, as the critters fade, their colours do interesting things!
