Thanks Brian.

Hi Simon

Nice shots. I don't think this is ant associated because although I haven't reared it, I have reared its relative Harpendyreus notoba and it had no ants involved at all.

Cheers

Steve

thanks steve, I thought not as it is a marsh dweller and I have never noticed the typical Lycaenid ants near the plants.
