Encountered this rather large Oakblue (about the size of a Centaur Oakblue) in CCA today. A very skittish fellow who never allowed me a close-up pic.
From the markings, this should be the Large Metallic Oakblue. :thinking:

Am I right, Dr Seow? :)

Yes, you are right.

Key line 46, 47- spot 6 nearer spot 5(or 50), 49.
The perspective distortion makes it appear that spot 6 is midway between spot 5 & the cellend bar.( line 50).

Spot 5, 6, & 7 are arranged in a staggered series characteristic of A. aedias.
Following line 50 leads to A. atosia/lurida in which the 3 spots are quite different.

Thanks, Dr Seow for the ID confirmation. :)
It is a rare +1 for me for the adult checklist. :cheers:
