Description A tiny butterfly that I'd been chasing for about forty minutes until it was dusk and it settled on this flower.

Savannakhet, Southern Laos.

another great shot.....you know, the butterflies there, seem to have a different shape where the back part of the wings meet the lower part of the body....they completely cover that part more...it seems...

Yes, you are correct. These are a certain type of butterflies that are quite small. We also have a lot of other kinds of butterflies too, that are much bigger and the body is not covered by the wings

okay....maybe it is because it is so small? It looks very unusual..
