237. The Gray-Washed Oakblue (Arthopala aurelia)

Number: 237
Family: Lycaenidae
Sub-Family:  Theclinae
Species: Arthopala aurelia
Common name(s): The Gray-Washed Oakblue
Rarity: Uncommon
Habitat: Lowland Forested area (a.s.l. approximately 300m)
Province(s) / Place(s) sighted: Nam Phong National Park (Khon Kaen)

This species I am not 100% sure of, but it looks a good match anyway. Please advise if I am wrong. This was a very difficult species to get near as it seemed to constantly dropping into holes in the mud to avoid the sun's heat. This was the best I got.
