Long-Tailed Blue Butterfly at Ramat Hanadiv, Israel

We’ve posted the dorsal view of the Long-tailed blue butterfly. Here is the view that we usually see. Ah, those eyespots!

Taking a break at Ramat Hanadiv, the luxurious arboretum in Israel’s coastal plain, Lampides boeticus shows her characteristic white stripe in this view.

Photographed in July 2009, it is found throughout Israel and it quite common in a variety of habitats, including in the center of Tel Aviv.
