Zizina labradus
With a wingspan of about 30mm, this beautiful little blue-grey butterfly is a fairly common sight at present. The upper side of the wins were a lovely blue-grey but the underside was a uniform french-grey. The abdomen was blue and "furry". Eyes were prominent and antennae, segmented with dark club-shaped ends.
open grasslands
Unfortunately, I could not get a shot of the upper side of the wings but here are some lovely spottings of the same butterfly, showing the upper side: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/890... - Victoria http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/148... - queensland
