Thanks, Soon Chye!

I presume the right pic is Gram Blue. :)

Just to add that besides the above points mentioned by SC, the markings on the hindwings (in red circle) are different too.

In fact, the markings on the forewings (same area) are different too. ;-)

Just to add a simple physical difference besides those already given by SC and CM - the tails of the Cycad Blue are twice as long as the Gram Blue. However, due to wear and tear, tails may be lost and therefore cause some confusion.

Thank you all for the input.

Very informative... a picture says a thousand word.
