Encountered this male Banded Royal in BTNR.
Nice upperside blue! :cheers:
:what::what::what:
I'm stunned. What a find... and I didn't expect it to be so BLUE!
Nice!
Nice pristine specimen! Great catch!
Amazing blue upperside..really beautiful
Thanks all for your kind comments. :)
When it landed on the boardwalk in front of me, I was surprised to see the shining blue too. :omg:
My first thought was that it could just be another male Common Hedge Blue, but its larger size and the tails suggested something else. :hmmm:
A glimpse of its underside finally allowed me to confirm its id. :)
Congrats. Well done !
I believe you are the first person who shot the uppersides.
Thanks, Frederick. :)
I am still short of a proper underside shot though. :-(
Great find and nice upper shot!
