Caria plutargus

I had heard this butterfly had been seen a couple of days earlier in this same spot, where the track crossed a small stream. I visited it a few times after that hoping to see and photograph it and did eventually this day. This is better than the photo I got a little earlier.

It rarely stayed long or settled.

I do love this genus so it was great to find another member of it. They are all very small and glittery. Several have green as the main colour.
