Pseudolycaena marsyas - a photo on Flickriver

Pseudolycaena marsyas, common name Cambridge Blue or Giant Hairstreak or Marsyas Hairstreak, is a species of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.

Pseudolycaena marsyas has a wingspan of about 40–50 millimetres, a quite huge size in hairstreaks (hence the common name of Giant Hairstreak). The uppersides of the wings are usually metallic blue, with hues varying from cobalt blue to turquoise-blue depending on location. The apex of the wings are black and lightly falcade in males and the hindwings are tailed in both sexes, with a small black spot. The undersides of the wings are pale blue-greyish, with several black spots and thin markings.

This wide-ranging species occurs in Central and South America from Mexico up to Argentina, in semi-open forests at an elevation of about 0–1,000 metres above sea level.
