Common zebra blue - (Leptotes pirithous pirithous)

[Karin Mitton]

I find my butterfly book very challenging.

Saw these 2 in my garden yesterday (Jhb). My best guesses are -

A very faded Common Hairtail?


Then this one - the closest I could get is Mocker Bronze or Mocker Blue (Cacyreus virilis). But I am really not sure.

Any suggestions would be helpful!!

Hi Karen
I think this may be Leptotes pirithous pirithous - Common zebra blue (female)Marj
