Spanish Brown Argus

Aricia cramera

Description:

Underwings very similar to Common Blue which I first thought but the top of the almost closed wings seemed very dark.
The attached link shows the underwing differences between the two species.
The first 3 pictures are the same individual, pics 4 & 5 show a very worn one and pic 6 is a third individual. They appear very common in this area.

Habitat:

Campsite on wooded mountain slope on the edge of Despeñaperros natural park in the Sierra Morena mountain range.
