It's been busy couple of months to settle the new house, car and the paperwork surrounding it but it's also winter to do any proper butterfly trips in East China.Coming back to the butterflies, back in October, i saw something new in my neighborhood, it had denim blue upperparts with a shortish tail. I dint have bins or camera at that time. On the following weekend, i hit the Paotaiwan Wetland park at the mouth of Huangpu river. It was the Golden Week and the crowd was scary. I spent couple of hours in the park before the people started flooding. Yes, i did find the blue and some odd butterflies which i haven't seen in Shanghai before.Name : Plains CupidScientific Name : Chilades PandavaChinese Name : 曲纹紫灰蝶Range : South of Yangtze River</blockquote>
