A Caerulean

[Angiud]

Today is a hot, sunny day and I got a few shots http://www.flickr.com/photos/angiud.

I'm not so easy about Cearuleans and this one seems to me a Common Caerulean, but I'm not so sure and the forewing looks to me more rounded that in the Caerulean. Any input?

The rounded forewings indicate both are female Common Caerulean.
The very similar J. pura usually have perfectly aligned white striae.

Thank you, Dr. Seow, for the clear and unmistakable identification

This new Jamides, seen today, looks a bit different to me:


Jamides sp.

Could be a Metallic, or a Sky Blue?

It is a Jamides alecto ( Metallic Cearulean ).
