ASTER LAEVIS & LESSER GRASS BLUE

I was drawn to the very beautiful and tall Aster laevis (synonym: Symphyotrichum laeve) outside the prototype glasshouse but when I approached the plants to take some photos, my attention was lured by this small butterfly Lesser Grass Blue (scientific name: Zizina otis lampa) from the Lycaenidae Family.
