I will do a research for confirming Tuneta.

What a superbly beautiful little creature.

Hairstreak butterflies typically perch with head oriented down. The tails mimic antennae and a mimetic eyespot is present on many species not including this one. The central stripe on the underwing would possibly have the benefit of making the insect look like two things and confusing the predator. What a beauty!

Absolutely spectacular. I'm green with envy that you can find these creatures. Thanks for sharing. I think I can suggest an ID for this tailed Lycenid butterfly for you.
