Blue Argus

Junonia orithya albicincta

Notes:

I don't mind telling you that I almost cried with delight when I saw this beautiful butterfly - it is one of the prettiest things I have ever seen in the wild. Spotted on a bush in suburban Townsville, about one metre away from this Blue-banded Eggfly: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/986...

I'm not surprised. It's got quite a surreal look with those colours. Gorgeous.
