Peablue; Canela estriada

Small butterfly that belongs to the Lycaenids family. These small butterflies present small tails preceded by small but colorful ocelli at the hind wings, a simple (and very eye-catching) method of defense, since one of its functions, is to mimic eyes and antennae, trying to confuse the "enemy" to direct his hypothetical attack towards "non-vital" places of his anatomy.
In most occasions we see them sideways with folded wings showing only the underwings. L. boeticus can be distinguished from two similar lycenids (Leptotes pirithous and Cacyreus marshalli) by the white band crossing the back hindwing underside.
The Latin species name boeticus refers to Baetica, a province of the Roman Empire in the Iberian Peninsula

The larvae feed on flowers, seeds and pods of many Fabaceae species.
