01 - Brown Argus and Common Blue Identification Guide


This 4 page guide covers the key identification features which separate the Brown Argus from the female Common Blue, ideal for anyone who finds it difficult to separate the two species.

Most importantly, the guide places equal emphasis on key features of both the underside and upperside wing markings and illustrates with photographs taken in the wild of actual butterflies.

To make sure your new or improved ID skills really work, the guide includes a small identification quiz on page 4.

Answers to page 4 identification questions
1 = Brown Argus underside
2 = Female Common Blue upperside
3 = Female Brown Argus upperside
