Taken 15th September 06. It's really very small, this I took from 2" above. It has tinted wings with larger yellow base patches.

This is the female. It's abdomen appeared pale blue with a little light brown on it's back and white underneath. When enlarged in a pic the colour alters.

It has very noticeable yellow stripes on the backs of legs, and broad yellow and black bands at the back of the head.

The back in detail. The line across the back top of the head is nearly straight, and looks quite hollow and more open than others.
