Lesser grass blue butterfly

A lesser grass blue butterfly reveals the reason for its name, at least the blue part anyway.

Isn’t wonderful when they pause for long enough to enable a photograph of that wonderful blue. Lovely photo, Graham.

  I’ve taken a lot of photos of these little butterflies in order to get a few with their blue wings showing. Worth it though.

  Thanks. They’re just little butterflies, but in constant motion.

What a soft, almost denim-like blue, Graham! Lesser as in really small? Amazing to see the gray, too!

  Definitely small, and I almost always see them close to the ground, flitting from flower to flower, usually in small groups.
