Pseudolycaena marsyas
about 2cm long
tasting a poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima)
Wikipedia tells that Eunica is a genus of nymphalid butterfly , but I found at Neobutterflies.com at Lycaenidae family.
It is actually a Lycaenidae, not a Nymphalidae like Eunica. But I am not sure about the species. It is definitely a Pseudolycaena sp., might be Pseudolycaena damo or Pseudolycaena marsyas. OK, in the meanwhile I checked the geographical range. It is Pseudolycaena marsyas:
