Varied Dusky Blue Candalides hyacinthine

Above the surface for a change, butterfly season has started this butterfly is an uncommon regular in the yard. The larval food plant is dodder (Cassytha sp.) which frows as a parasitic vine on plants, believe the one in our yard is a feral form.

Great pose and capture of the face and eyes. Nice perch as well.

Hi

Excellent composition and although not the most colourful of butterflys that backdrop more that makes up for any colour lack; a stunning in my book

All the best
Matthew
