The Western Pygmy-Blue's (Brephidium exile) are performing very nicely at the moment, with a dozen or more taking up evening and nighttime residence in our Pink Mulhy Grass.
As a follow up to last week's Western Pygmy-Blue Butterfly article, here is a portrait of one. Be sure to click on it for a full sized view.
Again, that stick it is sitting on is actually a blade of grass, just to give you an idea of how tiny this butterfly is. This photo was shot with a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro, at its closest point where it could still focus.
As always, the photo is available for purchase on http://www.naturesarchive.com.
