Field Notes

Description:

Ashy blue with black markings. I think this is an adult because of its ash-blue colour. Cerci white.

Habitat:

Office garden...actually on a narrow tiled pavement skirting the lawn proper. It ignored the short herbaceous border and the few flowers still left standing...it persistently settled on the pavement.

Notes:

Reportedly not a high flier.
