Provence hairstreak - Tomares ballus
 |
Family: Lycaenidae. Flight Time: January - May. Size: 28-30mm Altitude: 300-1300m |
| Notes: A kind of strange cross between a Green hairstreak Callophrys rubi and a Small copper Lycaena phlaeas. Likes to be low down on clover and such like seems fairly widespread in S. Spain and S. Portugal. |
