Today, I saw three Spring Azures (Celastrina ladon) at the lake. One was on the trail near a pool of water. The other two were drinking along the lake shore. All were quite skittish.
But I managed to stalk one and got a photograph.Click on an image to view a larger image

A lovely pose with the shell.
Thank you, but I can't really take much credit.
These could almost be classified as frantic little guys. They hardly land and they're off again. Very frustrating so a feeling of some satisfaction when I get a 'publishable' photo.
I thought they were reacting to me stalking them but I now believe they just can't stay still.
