[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I present this small but beautiful butterfly from the Lycaenidae family - The Club Silverline. This probably again is the first posting here on TN of this species. This species is often confused with the more common Common Silverline but the colour of its wings and stripes are different. I found this on a wet day inside the Botanical gardens here in Bhubaneswar. Shot taken hand held, hope everyone like it.

------------------------------------
The Club Silverline (Spindasis syama) is a butterfly of the Lycaenidae family. It is found in South-East Asia and is very common as a forest dweller. It is a swift flier and prefers sunshine. Unfortunately the data regarding this species is deficient.

The wingspan is 27-32 mm. The larvae feed on Psidium guajava and Dioscorea batatus.

Scientific classification -
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta

Genus: Spindasis
Species: S. syama

Fantastic shot Sumon, very nice capture with a superb composition.
Thanks for posting

I had had another look at my pictures of a Common Silverline, Sumon. This Club Silverline butterfly, indeed, is different from the Common one. However, the differences are very subtle but unmistakable.
A beautiful capture of this species with immaculate focus, precise details and rich colours.
Thanks for widening my horizons through this post and warm regards.

Hello Sumon,
very clear and precise, gently colourful presentation of this picturesque lycaenid, perfectly isolated from a soft background of vegetation. A beautiful fresh individual still in possession of its fragile tails. The butterfly's habit of slowly rubbing its hindwings against each other has been well documented here.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter
