Rhetus periander
small - see the grass beside it to get the size - and very shy.
an old one, with torn wings
Tricky one due to age... There is only one reasonable ID: Rhetus periander, although the typical white stripe at the border of the blue area is no more visible.If you look very carefully you might see some remnants on the right forewing in #1. Most probably the male.
Well that's one of the great things about PN. The beauty of the species is more appealing than the quality of the photo's. I'm very grateful for that because I have spottings I took with my mobile phone :)
thanks, CindyBinghamKeiser but I believe this is one of my worst photos. This butterfly was VERY shy and flew away before I could take a good photo :-)
