Tiny grass blue butterfly
Today I found a very calming view again, at that time the morning dew was still shyly attached to the leaves and the green leaves looked so fresh like clothes that had just been washed. I immediately approached the center of the small view that caught my attention. It was a tiny grass blue butterfly which in Latin is known as Zizula hylax. One of the tiny butterflies from the Lycaenidae family.
The butterfly was very small, almost invisible, fortunately my eyesight was still sharp, so I managed to find it. I found the butterfly sitting sweetly on a stalk of wildflowers that had not yet bloomed. In addition to being small, butterflies are very simple and quiet butterflies. They spend more time sitting still like that than flying here and there in a certain direction.
The butterfly has a very simple color, namely silvery gray decorated with black spots on both wings. Simple, but if we take a moment to enjoy it, its appearance is no less beautiful than other butterflies that have more striking colors.
