Hong Kong Butterflies 32

Pale Grass Blue (Pseudozizeeria mah, 酢漿灰蝶) is one of the most common butterflies in the Hong Kong parks. It is a small butterfly that belongs to the lycaenids or blues family. It usually stays close to the ground. Its larval food plant, Lavender Sorrel (Oxalis debilis. 紅花酢漿草), is also a common herb in Hong Kong. This Pale Grass Blue was spotted yesterday morning in the Hong Kong Park.
