Pseudozizeeria Maha (Pale Grass Blue) is Blue! 大和小灰蝶（ヤマトシジミ）は青かった！

This is Pseudozizeeria maha or a pale grass blue butterfly. I took pictures of, and wrote about, the butterfly in late October but at that time I didn't know how beautiful the butterfly is because its wings were closed and the outside of the wings was gray. Look at this! It's (or more specifically, the inside of the wings is) so beautiful! Now I see why they're called pale grass "blue" (though it's more like blue gray!) and regret having left my camera at home....

カメラ持たずに外出してたまたま見つけたヤマトシジミです。10月に見かけたのは羽を閉じていたので羽根の外側（灰色）しか見ることができませんでした。内側はこんなに綺麗だったんですね。英語名が Pale grass blue なのも頷けます。
