Hi

Could someone please confirm ID on these two blues ... the first I have a Common Blue, I'm not to sure on the second, I'm thinking the light blue is more like Chalkhill Blue ...

Thanks

Clive

Assuming it's taken in the UK, the second looks like a common blue too. The chequering on the hindwing is restricted to the inner half of the fringe.

Many thanks Guy ... yes, taken in the UK ... I should have said! ...

The very blue female Common Blues (first photo) made up a high percentage of the August brood in 2010 with the brown forms being in relatively low numbers.

Many thanks Jack ... that explains why I hadn't seen many of the brown ones (second shot) and that's what was confusing me ...
