Default Huge Blue Butterfly - further ID

This seems certain to be the Maculinea arion that was suggested to me
earlier when I said one had been sighted here. Since then, the people who
saw it have been shown photographs of it and all seem to agree this is it.
I believe it was released on Dartmoor which is about 3 miles from us so it
seems very possible it would find its way here.
