Green hairstreak chasing game
It was a very quick shoot on a blue flower. I tried to catch this butterfly for quite some time. Always few meters ahead of me... always ready to leave when I just got the camera ready and got close enough.
Luckily there was lots of those blue Scilla monophyllos flowers around and eventually I got him!
And I got him good :D
Few minutes, some shots and off he goes again...
Shot with Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105mm lens

Thank you very much :)
Wow it looks like a cabbage white but is fancy green. Nice and camouflage.

It's the rich cousin :P
Rich in emeralds as opposed to the poor couzin with all the quartz.
Who cares about quartz, right?
Your patience was well rewarded @ewkaw Beautiful images. The green butterfly makes a lovely contrast to the blue Scilla monophyllos flowers. 💐
Thank you Trudee :) It was the first time I saw such green one. Would chase him anywhere to get the shots :D :D
