2. Lesser Grass Blue

1. i think this is Gram Blue (metallic green at edge of black spot).

No, this is a Cycad Blue.

Nice environmental shots with lots of background shown.

Nice capture macross. A refreshing change from those tight cropped shots as Papilio said

Nice series, macross.
Perhaps a eye level shot for the first pic will be better.

Thanks Papilio for the correction. How to distinguish between Gram Blue and Cycad Blue? I thought it was the metallic green scaling, but seems that I was wrong

.

Lion King: Thanks for the suggestion. The Cycad Blue was shot under the hot sun (as can be seen from the dark shadow). Camera was supported by my fingers which was on the ground (ground was wet); adopted a squat position with both knees on the ground and put my head low to see the viewfinder. Must have been a sight for the tourists!
