Thanks Jack, I was being facetious about the Geranium Blue, I know it's unlike me!!Jacksparrow wrote: Sun Aug 09, 2026 9:22 pm Great to see all the butterflies plus a mega sized HBHM.
I think google is teasing you about the Geranium Argus as the UK is well outside it's range. According to my reference book the two species of blue present are the Common and the Adonis.
lol, thanks Cin... have I ever told you that I hate blues??!!Germain wrote: Mon Aug 10, 2026 9:47 am I think you can slap Google Lens wrist on this one - It's a Chalkhill female
Well done on getting the Grayling, and its hearting to see so many females of the blue families - Hopefully there are still a few chaps about
the PL's look very smart. A good flutterby session
PS how did you get the Walls to settle? what magic did you use - skittish is my term for them esp when its hot!
And not only that, I only saw one with blue wings, and that was as it was flying!!!Just be careful that might come back and bite youPimperneBloke wrote: Tue Aug 11, 2026 6:34 amThanks Jack, I was being facetious about the Geranium Blue, I know it's unlike me!!Jacksparrow wrote: Sun Aug 09, 2026 9:22 pm Great to see all the butterflies plus a mega sized HBHM.

the chances of you getting Geranium Bronze - Cacyreus Marshalli are increasing
