Long-tailed Pea-blue Butterfly (Lampides boeticus)

Here we have a Long-tailed Pea-blue on the annual Lupins in my backyard. These are one of the many small Lycaenid butterflies known as 'Blues'.

The Long-tailed Pea-blue has a wide distribution. According to the encyclopedia of Life, it ranges from Africa to southern Europe, across southern Asia to Japan, India, Ceylon, the Philippines, and Australia and Samoa. It is a resident in the main islands of Hawaii, but is not found elsewhere in North America
