Another fine shot Ed.
And I bet Ade will know exactly what this is.
You really must pay more attention to his teachings I think,
to gain a better knowledge of all these little beastie bobs and things !!
Mick.

A lovely capture Edmund.
Very hard to distinguish between the Azure and common blue. There is more blue on a common blue than black. You would need to have images side be side to see any difference really.
