If butterflies had fashion shows then this little butterfly would definitely start a trend. This insect, which is known by different names such as "Eyed Pansy" in Southern Africa and "Blue Argus" in Australia, is colored with a sky-blue, black and white color. Males have a series of circular rings on its hindwing. Females are also marked similarly but with a duller hue.
