common fig-tree blue

Myrina silenus

 

This one's for Laba Laba. I think I now understand why this is a favorite.

Unlike the very first, this one was found in mint condition. More like a phoenix arisen from its ashes. Very easy going too, never broke a sweat. It is living up to its name 'common-' and at the same time retaining uncommon qualities.

Check out the dazzling metallic blue smudges. Looking pixelated.
