Hi Martin, I think it is closer to common bluebottle...actually, they are very simliar, difficult to distinguish..

Hi Martin, Thanks for these information..let me compare and to see which one is best match..:)

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works. These two very similar species are very easily and often confused and were once considered subspecies. G. milon has a thinner blue zone and darker black zones. The butterfly is slightly larger than the common bluebottle. Please compare these two and decide which you think best matches your spotting. http://lepidoptera.pro/taxonomy/15214 http://lepidoptera.pro/taxonomy/15126 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14449112
