Tiny grass blue

Tiny Grass Blue, scientific name Zizula hylax, is known to be the second smallest butterfly seen in India. It is commonly found in South Asian countries including India. Easier to identify and distinguish from other grass blues by the tiny size and unique arrangement of spots. The spot near to the apex on the under fore wing is strongly curved, even ‘v’ shaped on some. There are two costal spots on the under fore wing. The spots on the under hind wing are also almost on a curve, not much deviated like the Zizina otis. Fabaceae or Acanthus plants are the main host plants. Seen in abundance (at least here) during the months between November and February. Usually found very closer to the ground; even in groups, flying around Fabaceae plants. #pindleindia #sharewithpindle
