Small and delicate, this blue butterfly from South Asia belongs to the lycaenid family—also charmingly called the "blues" family. Despite their tiny stature, these pale grass blues are impressively resilient, thriving across South Asian grasslands and adapting beautifully to open spaces where they've carved out their own ecological niche.
