Thestius meridionalis
small butterfly, iridescent blue and black markings, these photos are really cropped, as I couldn't get that close before it flew off
primary rainforest
Even though it's only 2 colors, it was one of the most striking butterflies I saw in the Amazon. It was fairly rare to spot though and I was lucky to get a couple photos before this one disappeared.
Wow, thanks for all the amazing continuing comments on this one. Definitely one of my favorites.
Remarkably beautiful, you captured it perfectly! The Lycaenids are so skittish.
Stunning! Really enjoying your butterflies from the Amazon :D Spectacular collection so far!
Thanks Gerardo for the comment and the ID, I knew this one would get identified. Thanks Gilma and Leanne, I did forget the Blue mission, but I've added it now, appreciate the reminder.
Wow! How sweet! Don't forget 'The Colour Blue' mission Dan. Beautiful little darling :)
