User's notes

I initially saw and captured the very bright blue but later images of most likely the same individual are much more muted in hue. I have to say I am not sure what happened here. The (apparent?) variation could be an artefact of the angle of the butterfuly to the sun's rays.

We would need to see an underside image to confirm to species

OK. Thanks. Unfortunately it did not give me the opportunity. I will see if I can return to the area and pick it up again.
