Candalides absimilis
The wingspan is about 30 mm. Adult males are grey-blue, while females are brown on top with a large white patch on each wing, and a purple sheen near the hinges. The underside of both sexes is white with rows of fawn carets
Saw these two mating in my yard on a very windy day. They were determined to hold onto the large palm leaf they were sitting on.
