Well, maybe, though occasionally will glance), well, so net-after fields of torment)) has collected a lot of questions. In the meantime, and fans, too, will stroll through the fields)
Peter, trying to deal with the Argus-IDASA, stumbled upon a double http://lepidoptera.ru/gallery/5754. Apparently, all the Argus?
Igor, that I hesitated just between the two, so the question left) bow to idasu- underside darker blue scales and spraying at the root dimmer, other clear differences not know (no top) .. This is expect that special. say).
The very surprised Peter) I'm kind of a photo is not scored, leaving uncertain in any case, to confirm, still a rare species (although minimal doubt) ... And suddenly it went straight to the view, apparently, the name of the file in the folder )
Petr, this species is not illustrated in the gallery, so I put this one before another of better quality appears. Also question/remark: autosuggestion didn't work on the first try, and here as well as in Sinev's Catalogue this species is named as delicator whilst other sources including molbiol.ru instead mention it as delicatior, the same is in Berlov and on Japanese websites ...
Petr, the "secret" is simpler) The pic is done long time ago, didn't want to seek for the original image, and couldn't crop this one for it wouldn't then satisfy the terms saying an image should be at least 800pix the larger side) Opted not to break the rule) May be cropped if needed...
Petr, welcome back) After the faults with icarus and amanda and doubt about artaxerxes-eumedon I try not to hurry))... Though this one is a sure thing, no doubt. Will change for the better)
There is a similar species http://lepidoptera.pro/taxonomy/15135, though that one has more edgy forewing, the dark part of the top is more narrow whilst the underside is lighter and has a paler pattern due to which can't be mistaken even in nature)
I can't be sure that underside pics #21782 and 97 belong to this very specimen, alas. There were about 6—7 specimens on 1 sq. meter of land, 18 shots in this photo series with no eumedon underside, they look all like artaxerxes. I usually shoot both topside and underside of an each specimen, but this time I counted they turned out all alike... However Evgeny's arguments raised doubt, can be ...
Evgeny, what's about underside pics #21797 and 21782 (comments)? There was clearly no white "beam" in its median spot.
Oh yeah....) Did look another way) Alexandr, thanks a lot, I sorted out my huge archive of blues, these species, also thersites cleared out. If possible, I'll torture you later about argus/idas)... and have questions about subsolanus...
Alexandr, thanks, artaxerxes is solved, just have some questions about icarus. I looked through photos of the latter, can't see the difference between undersides of these two species? Say #1476 and #1479 pics... see no difference. How to ID when no topside? Maybe dusty scaling at wing bases? Don't want to occupy you for long, but would be great if you find some time to explain an amateur the ...
Alexandr, you know better) Let's keep them here then. Don't want to lower my level, even I determined it myself, though the angle is speaking indeed... Ok, let's close photographer's eye on the unsharp forewing) Thanks.
Photo not good quality, uploaded just for ID the specimen #21797 and #21782. Should be removed after that)
Alexandr, have no underside of this specimen, but there were plenty of these butterflies in Veronica incana flowers at that time, I've uploaded 2 photos of another specimen #21797 and #21798 that was as well shot that very day (wings half-spread + underside). Some butterflies had the same topside as #21799. Aricia artaxerxes female?
Evgeny, I've got several photos of this butterfly wings half-spread, not good quality. Forewings lack the row of orange-red spots like Aricia agestis has. Probably Aricia artaxerxes?
Probably Neptis hylas (Linnaeus, 1758) which is rather common in Thailand (and originally indigenous in South/Southeast Asia)?
Alexandr, here's its underside, no need in this though, already can see that I was wrong) Thanks for the correction. Should be moved.
