There were hundreds of these azures along the muddy track in the forest, and it looks like these two are getting ready to make sure there are more.

These are not close to our lycaenid azures, but they are striking nevertheless in this excellent photo.

For a minute, I thought you had converted a butterfly photo to mono - now, that would have been brave!!
