Arhopala centaurus nakula (Centaur Oakblue)


The Centaur Oakblue is a relatively large member of the Lycaenidae. The beautiful turquoise compound eyes of this species are particularly striking, as are the purple-blue uppersides of the males. The Centaur Oakblue is fond of resting in the shadier parts of the undergrowth when not in flight.
