    Arhhh! Thanks !

    Yes I think that might be the problem , metering and flash , I switched to the 1D3 after the 1D4 and flash was having some problem.

    After taking a second look at these two by Billy, I am more inclined to ID them as Gram Blue rather than Cycad Blue. What do you think? As they were shot in an upside down pose, first looks were a bit deceiving. I've rotated them for easier comparison.

    You are right, Khew.
    The inner margin (dorsum) of the HW has a black spot like in Anthene (Ciliate Blues).

    Thanks Khew and Dr Seow for the ID.

    Thanks for the pointers. PP is one of my weakness. This is my feeble attempt to crop and increase the exposure, but the picture is not sharp. Didn't notice that there was another insect on the same plant...another weakness - not observant enough.IMG_6425-2w.jpg

    On second look at the re-processed pic, I think it is still under exposed. Got to do better next time.

    Thanks all for the guidance.

    Regards
