Hi Guy,padfield wrote:Just out of interest, did you photograph any common blues in Fuerteventura? It's been established that the Canary populations are all Polyommatus celina, not icarus - and that celina flies in the south of Spain too. I'm interested in getting a little more familiar with this species, particularly as in parts of Spain icarus and celina overlap.

I've taken your quote from Nick's very good holiday diary.
How does celina differ from icarus? Does it have anything to do with f. boalensis etc ?
Thanks
