    It's beautiful! It looks like a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. Maybe Zizina sp.? Zizina labradus? Posted 4 years ago

The Lesser grass blue

"Zizina otis", the lesser grass blue, is a species of blue butterfly found in south and southeast Asia. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1787. The lesser grass blue is often misidentified as "Zizina labradus", the common grass blue.
