Eastern tailed blue (Everes comyntas), male

Found this tiny little beauty flitting around my garden. He finally landed on some Astilbe and posed for a photo. This is a very fresh individual, so must have hatched recently.

Gorgeous macro of this blue, Christine. I find these difficult to shoot. They seem to constantly want to pivot. Wonderful focus!
