A BIT ABOUT THE GREENISH BLUE BUTTERFLY-
And first of all, yes, it is called the Greenish Blue Butterfly.
The upperside in the male is a pale metallic blue, with narrow black borders and a row of dark spots near the margin of the hindwing. In the female the forewing is dark brown with a blue sheen, particularly near the base of the wings, and there is a row of faint orange-capped black spots on the hindwing margin. In both sexes there is a black spot at the end of the forewing cell and often a smaller black one on the hindwing. The underside in the male is silvery grey, bluish near the base of the wings; in the female it is darker grey to pale tan. There are two rows of small black spots on both wings. In the hindwing below, there is a partial third row on the wing margin with a trace of orange shading between the second and third rows; one spot in the third row near the anal angle is larger and corresponds to the "thecla" spot in hairstreaks; the spots on the underside tend to be larger and more distinct in females.
