| | | Ringlet with bluish pruinescence
Not the best of shots but my first Ringlet of the year (seen earlier this week) had a bar of bluish pruinescence near the leading edges of the forewings. 
Visible only from certain angles, rather like a Purple Emperor. I have not seen this before. Has anyone else please? Maybe something to do with recent emergence? |

I have never seen a Ringlet with this bluish tinge before, quite interesting and I can only think the same as you that it may be something to do with recent emergence |

Apparently they can have a 'sheen' when they have just emerged. |
