We used to have plenty of both of them in 2020. But haven't seen either since then. Ok thanks for the tips :)

there are lots of Indian Cupids and Lesser Grass Blues here these days. I think its their breeding season. look in low bushes and herbs.

Beautiful series! Saw one of these this morning but didn't have time to get a shot. Gotta go looking for it tomorrow. This is the 1st time I'm seeing it after the 1st time in 2020.
