The Lycaenidae are the second-largest family of butterflies, with about 6000 species worldwide,whose members are also called gossamer-winged butterflies. They constitute about 40% of the known butterfly species.

The family is traditional divided into the subfamilies of the blues (Polyommatinae), the coppers (Lycaeninae), the hairstreaks (Theclinae) and the harvesters (Miletinae); others include also the Lipteninae, Liphyrinae and Poritiinae. A few authorities still include the family Riodinidae within the Lycaenidae. The sole member of the subfamily Styginae is represented by Styx infernalis from the Peruvian Andes. Recent molecular evidence places Styginae within the family Riodinidae.

Adults are small, under 5 cm usually, and brightly coloured, sometimes with a metallic gloss. The male's forelegs are reduced in size and lack claws.

Hi Sergio,
A fine macro of the mating blues here.

Lovely details and wonderful rich colours.
Superb Pov and DoF showing great contrasts.

I like the details presented in the wings of the blues.Every little texture on the pair has been captured very well.The patterns look wonderful and is shown in a fine manner.

TFS & Cheers
