The extent of the blue scales on the uppersides of female Green-underside Blue Butterflies Glaucopsyche alexis
varies considerably, so some examples may possess hardly any blue, and
others may resemble the example shown above, photographed in the Picos d’Europa in Northern Spain in
1998 on transparency film, and subsequently digitally scanned. The underside markings
of this widely distributed Continental butterfly are sufficiently distinctive in
most cases to enable this species to be identified, but their intensity varies,
and they may be far less clearly defined than they were on the female illustrated
above.
