This is a species of my favorite group of butterflies, the Blues. I believe it is a Melissa Blue, due to the orange on the underside of both sets of wings. Very fuzzy.

My macrophotography. Lots of bugs -- flowers, water and other things if I can't find fauna. (Click on a photo to enlarge, click again for an even greater enlargement.)

What a pretty thing she is!
I'm still figuring out all the reasons I like these little guys. The blue on the topside of the wings is ephemeral, the underside is stylish without being gaudy, they don't seem to care very much about me at all. They're sort of the fairies of my butterfly world.
