User's notes

Small butterfly maybe 20-25mm across, blue hue on upper wings. Sorry for having only one photo but that is all I could get before it flew off high into a eucalypt. Normally wouldn’t submit one poor quality photo like this but I thought it could possibly be a small ant-blue butterfly. Hopefully it is good enough to get a positive ID on whatever it is.

Thanks Steve. It's a little early for Small Ant-blues to be flying but do keep an eye out in warmer weather towards the end of October, it would be fantastic to get a new location record for Small Ant-blues!
