Description:

Seen on the underneath of a leaf in an orchard at the foot of Volcano Maderas. The metalic edging doesn't show up so much as it was out of direct light. Usually it shines.

Habitat:

rural orchard

Thank you bayucca. It was hard to get a decent photo as it kept landing under the leaves. I was practicing contortions...

Yes, first one I have seen also. Hard to photograph as it kept landing under the leaves.
