Ceraunus Blue Butterfly  
These tiny flutterers look blue from the top, but I couldn't convince one to let me show you with a picture.

This little girl was so small and fast I couldn't get the camera to focus. That's the best picture I got of her; I'll keep trying. In this image she'd just laid the egg, which is the fuzzy looking white dot on the middle of the stem in the image to the right. It was too small to see clearly without a magnifying glass.

My Cassius Blue Butterfly images are much better. I'll update when I find another of these to photograph.
I believe this is a Ceraunus Blue Butterfly. It's laying an egg on Vigna luteola.
