Lang's short-tailed blue - Leptotes pirithous
 |
Family: Lycaenidae Flight Time: Feb-October. Size: 24-26mm Altitude: 0-1200m

Notes: Like the Long-tailed blue Lampides boeticus but without the prominent white band. This is a strongly migratory species, I saw hundreds of them in S Spain following a period of strong southerly winds that had presumably helped them over from N Africa.
