Hi Martin,

I believe this to be a Geranium Bronze (Cacyreus marshalli). See http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species. ... m%20Bronze.

Cheers,

Therev are lots of Geranium Bronzes here, but for some reason thought this on was different. Oh well...I'll just have to keep looking

If you want to see LT blue in S Spain, just look for anything Pea-like. They like peas.
