| Ovindoli, Abruzzo, Italy. 05.08.2025 This species was flying in the same locality as Polyommatus coridon (Chalkhill Blue) and at first it was very difficult to distinguish between the two species in flight. However, after a few minutes, I was able to recognise the slightly paler colouring of the male Furry Blues. When at rest with wings open, dolus reveals the extensive darker colouring from the centre of the wings towards the body whereas coridon has the darker colouring on the edges of the wings. With wings closed, the very different underside markings give no doubt to their correct identification. | |
