Thanks Karen :)
I can't tell which one either. Great photo, though.
I agree Bernadette. So many are very similar. I can't determine if this is Euphilotes or Plebejus genus.
Looks similar to the Grass Jewel we see here in Egypt. Perhaps it is in the Blues family as well? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycaenidae
