Pics Of Smaller Sized Butterflies

Hi, Here are some pics of smaller sized butterflies, between nickle and to just over a quarter, and easily overlooked. Most folks do not "see" these smaller butterflies, but merely catch a glimpse and dismiss the sighting immediately. However, butterfly enthusiast instantly know to look closer with their binoculars, to make a positive identification and see all of the beauty in these small bugs. Bugs, an affectionate term used on ;butterflies, dragonflies and moths is in common use today as well. Have a great day, Denis
