African Grass Blue Zizeeria knysna
RETURN TO INDEX
La Palma - April 2001
This was the first African Grass Blue I saw on La Palma and the only one I could photograph. It appeared, totally unexpectedly, near a grass verge in the middle of Los Llanos de Aridane, surrounded by people, and I made something of a spectacle of myself trying to film and photograph it. Here, it is on the pavement. The others I saw were in more natural habitat but unfortunately they shared it with the Plain Tiger, which I was even more insistent on getting on film, since I knew I had this rather sad picture of knysna.
