Blue Satyr or Arnaca Blue Ringlet

The 12 Chloreuptychia species are characterised by having ovoid forewings, a subtle blue sheen on the underside, and a pair of elongated silvery ocelli within the series of eyespots on the underside hindwings.

Chloreuptychia arnaca is distributed from Costa Rica to Bolivia.

These butterflies were so pretty in the forest. Suddenly one would see a flash of blue of similar colour to the Morpho, but they are only small butterflies.
