Field Notes

Description:

This is another little Lycaenidae butterfly. I saw several of these with slight variations in the design on the wings. They were small, thumbnail size, and they rubbed their back wings up and down while resting on a leaf etc, making their little tails dance.

Yes James, I checked that out, but I couldn't find one that looked the same. The closest one had only 1 red spot, not 2 !
