Mating pale grass blue butterflies (Zizeeria maha). The male on the left is lighter compared to the female.

Nice shot Gary... While I like this overall, I think a bit more sharpness on the eyes wouldn't be out of place.. very nice all the same :toast:

Excellent find and sharpness/DOF look good. There does appear to be quite a bit of noise though - which shouldn't be a result of ISO since you are using a D90 so I'm a little stumped.
