Zizina labradus
This very common blue butterfly found on every lawn most of the year round. This one was spotted laying an egg.
Attracted to lucerne in a local park.
The first is a male. The rest are the female laying an egg under the leaf, and an eventual image of the egg.

Thank you Doctor
The first is a different individual ( male ). All the others are the same, obviously female.
The egg laying behavior is what brought my attention to it.
Nice to spot both egg and the butterfly.
