Aricia agestis
The underside has the typical "blue" pattern of a greyish/brownish ground color with black spots outlined in white and a row of orange spots along the border. The pattern of the black spots is the best way to distinguish this species from female Common, Chalk Hill and Adonis Blues as they lack the black spot found near the base of the forewing which is present on these three species.
It is found throughout the Palearctic ecozone North to southern Sweden and East to Siberia and Tian Shan.
