Thank you!! Forest Dragon and Andrecoppe!
Subfamily Theclinae, Tribe Eumaeini, Genus Calycopis, I believe. Not sure which species are in your area.
Hi, José!
This is a Lycaenidae butterfly. This link can be useful for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theclinae
Can someone help me with this spotting?
Great video of the "fake" antennal movement!
