Common Zebra Blue - Leptotes pirithous Lang&#039;s Short-tailed Blue - most probably this species is migrant and doesn&#039;t have permanent populations in Bulgaria.<br /> I chased a couple of them on the Danube river bank. They always used to land on the ground only for a couple of seconds and I had to hover in the mud in order to get a better point of view. Quite frustrating....

    It was worth it, it is nicely illuminated. I found one in Greece at the ruins of Amfipoli but it is a long way from the sea to the Danube across the Balkan. Posted 9 years ago
