Zebra Blue Butterflies

Leptotes plinius

Notes:

This is a male (top) and a female Zebra Blue Butterfly, wingspan about 25mm. I'm not sure about the behaviour - they are resting together with their wings open and vibrating, which is very different to how they rest solo (with their wings up - see shot 5). At first I thought they were mating but looking closely at the pics I can't see anything going on...?
