Vinu Mathew took a few macro
photographs of some Dark Grass Blue Zizeeria
karsandra in Dhahran recently. Dark Grass Blue is a small butterfly found
in the Southern Mediterranean, in a broad band to India, Sri Lanka, the Andaman
and Nicobar Islands, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, New
Guinea and northern and eastern Australia. It belongs to the Lycaenids or Blues family. As the
common name suggests, this species is found in open grassy habitats but can occur
anywhere where grasses occur. I thank Vinu for sending me the details and for
giving mr permission to use them on my website.
