Hi Theo, Thanks for confirming that - I thought Phryxe because of the hairy eyes, orange scutellum and crossed&lifted apicals. But I changed my ID because I discovered I had taken a specimen a few days earlier. After running it through Belshaw it came out to Aplomyia and it matched 4 other specimens in my collection from the same site. :D

The host works for the site too - lots of nice Lycaenids there (P.icarus, L.coridon, L.bellargus, C.rubi). We have Cadurciella tritaeniata there too. :D
