Blues are sparkling gems of the butterfly world.
Blues are some of the smallest butterflies.
This one is a little larger than a dime. While observing a small group of varied butterflys favoring a particular weed patch, I sat down amoung it and patiently waited for them to come to me. The most cooperative was this one shown. The second picture is the same Blue, different perch, with the sun reflecting off the iridescence of its upper wing. This group is amoung our largest dragonflies.
