Common Grass Blue Zizina labradus

From my backyard, these small blues are common in what passes for my lawn.  Just got the MT-24EX twin lite and trying it out on the butterflies, success rate seems better in the late afternoon as the subject is only 60mm or so from the lens at 2x.  Composite of 2 frames handheld for more DOF.

Fine head shot, nice even flash lighting. The linked larger size image shows the details best.
