Small Green-banded Blue

Psychonotis caelius

Description:

Small butterfly to 25mm across at rest. However it never rested for long. It was quite skittish, always on the move, but flew around in the same area.

Habitat:

Came to rest on the ground most of the time, along and beside the sandy walking track at Cattana Wetlands QLD

Notes:

This was a first time spotting for me. Very excited to see such a pretty little butterfly. A change from the Nymphalids (browns)
