Blue or Blue - _TNY_1978
I am not able to make a conclusive final ID on this one from the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden back in mid-March (of 2023).
It is either a blue wave (Myscelia cyaniris) but just as likely a blue wing (Myscelia ethusa).
The good thing about this predicament is that it gives me the opportunity to link to photos of both species where the dorsal side of the wings are showing - which do you think look the best?
