Brown argus aberration?
Posted: Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:20 am
Hi all, I’m new to this forum, just looking for some expert opinion on this brown argus I spotted back on 15th June around the Wiltshire/Somerset border. Apologies - the pics aren’t great - had to take them on my phone.
Wing markings show it’s definitely not a f. common blue, and I’ve never seen this degree of pallor in a brown argus before, especially that early in their flight season. I was wondering if it might be an aberration, specifically ab. Pallidior?
Thoughts?
