WOOHOO! Well done bayucca! 7000 that's incredible ... I know you've helped me out on many occasions with idents... Here's to the next 7000 : ) I'll have to see if I can help you along the way LOL!!
Thanks, Mark, but it took me quite a long time for this one, to be sure enough to make the lucky punch...
Fantastic ID work bayucca. I'm so impressed you didn't wait for a Cryptozealous impossibilius to lay your 7000th on.... just a lovely little grass blue. :-)
Lucky Lady Viv! You got the lucky punch of my ID #7000! It is most probably not the subspecies Lampa as indicated in some links. This should be from Singapore and Indonesia. I guess it is Zizina otis sangra: http://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc4/80910001.html http://mybutterflycollection.com/2013/05/08/lesser-grass-blue-zizina-otis-sangra/
