Another Lycaenid butterfly. Genus Jamides. Notice the eyes and the tail. Lycaenids use the tail as a defense against predators. If one observes the tail of this butterfly, its hindwings display a grinding motion. The predator thinks this the head, with the antennae and eyes look alike. The butterfly can still fly with a broken wing but not with a damaged antennae. A hit on the head will be fatal.
