    Only just noted this pic of the Holly Blue Beryl which very clearly seperates it from the Common Blue by the underwing much easier than the one you posted at a later date.

    Your welcome Andrew. The common blue has a very different under wing/ Hind wing not really blue looking even There are quite a few Blues and they all have different hind wings
