Spring Azure/ Macro Monday

Tiny spring azure butterfly (Clelastrina argiolus) female

Yesterday while I was photographing spring wildflowers in a favourite  forest of mine, my husband made a  little friend. Isn't she cute sitting on his index finger? Don't her eyes make you melt?

    'Tis a real cutie for sure...but I would have called this a plain ol' moth, not a Clelastrina argiolus. You're so smart!

    And where did you live before Ontario?

    I think that was the butterfly I was chasing around the garden today but didn't get! It was such a pretty bright blue until it stopped and then it folded it's wings (for a millisecond). Great capture!

    A terrific capture! My hubby had a butterfly land on his nose once, and it was the one time I didn't have my camera!

    How do we know it's not really a giant holding a regular-sized butterfly? Neat capture.

    Love your butterfly. Hope you didn’t get chiggers while shooting it like I did shooting my yellow weedlet flower. There was a butterfly close by when I went stomping through the high grass. Not good. When will I learn? Yours is just too pretty. Now I know you all are really having spring up your way.

    Difficult capture. They just keep fluttering and seem so restless. Maybe this decided to take some "rare;y required" rest !

    So tiny! Isn't it good luck to have a butterfly land on you? I'm sure it should be.
