Field Notes

Description:

The butterflies were very small, and had a 'powdery feel' on their wings.
If memory serves me well, there is a bit of blue on the upperside of the wing.

Habitat:

Grassy Areas in our high school's retreat house.

Notes:

Shot this using a handheld camera :D

Habitat should be like urban grasslands in garden, house garden... Rural ranches, wastelands. around marshes etc..!!

Only a expert say about exact specie... Any how good spotting Herman..!! You can edit spotting... and add details what you remind about this spotting.

Little Rex

I think that's all I could put in there... The photo was taken about a year ago, so the details are pretty much blurred since when I took the picture, but I'm pretty sure it's a P. maha...
