This is more or less rarer than its cousin A. emolus and has a decidedly pointier forewing apex than the Common Ciliate Blue. On close observation, it can be distinguished from A. emolus by the presence of a ringed dark spot near the marginal area of its hindwing undersides, giving it a "moled" appearance. They are usually found puddling in the same vicinities on moist spots on a sunny morning.

At certain angle of the light, the uppersides display an incredible velvety blue sheen that must number among the most spectacular colours of Nature. 14 September 2013 @ 11:37
