A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Euchrysops cnejus cnejus
The photo above is most likely a female with brown as majority of the wing color with pale shining blue wing base. Though damaged there is evidence of string-like tails and above it are black spots which are inwardly crowned with orange.
The gram blue in the image was found hovering around a sago cycad (cycas revoluta), probably attracted by the plant's starch and sugar.
Welcome Blurred. Don't worry, you will have more than enough support from the Project Noah community ;) Looking forward to your next spottings.
