This is a very beautiful little butterfly, I very often find this butterfly during the rainy season but during the dry season this butterfly seems to disappear and I rarely see it. This is a butterfly that has a very small size so to be able to see its beauty we have to see it from a very close distance, but to approach it is not easy because it is very fast and very sensitive to the slightest movement. Finding this butterfly during the dry season is a stroke of luck for me but the new satisfaction I really felt was when I managed to capture its beauty, but I know it is a very difficult thing to do. I myself managed to find this butterfly in my cocoa garden, when I found this butterfly I immediately planned to photograph it but before that I had to approach it first, at that time I experienced several failures when I wanted to photograph it but I succeeded when this butterfly was perched on a leaf.

I managed to photograph this butterfly using a macro lens, so that its small body size can be seen clearly, and here are some pictures.

A wonderful, tiny species, and very difficult to photograph. I know because we have some of that genus here, and they are among the smallest lycaenids I've ever seen! ... Very good work!

You are right, this little butterfly is very wild and very fast, it is very difficult to get close to it.
I'm glad I took the picture and I'm glad you liked it too.
Thank you very much for your great support my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻
