Description:

Very similar to Familiar Bluet and Big Bluet, there may be as-yet undiscovered differences in markings.  It generally is slightly smaller, with tear-drop shaped postocular spots.  At this stage of field ID, the shape of the terminal appendages must be critically examined to differentiate them.

 

Conservation Status:

State: S3S4 - Apparently secure but should be watched

Global: G5 - Secure globally, but possibly rare in parts of its range
