Polyommatus (Lysandra) hispanus
Found only in southern & eastern Europe.
The Larvae feeds on Horseshoe Vetch.
It is very similar to Lysandra coridon but is paler (greyer and duller, greyish pearly-blue, nacreous blue) with the distal margin more strongly spotted.
However both are very variable.
The Butterfly is on wing from April to September in two generations.
