Leptotes pirithous aka Lang's Short-tailed Blue

I've forgotten this file in my archives, and now that i've been saving, I found it and decided to post it :)
Makes me remember the butterflies and wishing Spring to come.
The best thing is that we are already in winter, so few months till spring ;)

Ever the optimist - It's been Christmas for 2 days lol. I like the bright colours and the dof on this :) McMommy · 2010-12-22: 07:42

Yes, so few months before it arrives, him and its troop of life ! josy63 · 2010-12-22: 07:43
