A female of Long-tailed Blue (aka pea blue; Lampides boeticus, family Lycaenidae) visiting pink flowers of red clover (Trifolium pratense, family Fabaceae) beside a farm road to feed on nectar. And then she moved on to the adjacent leaf to bask in the autumn sunshine. Eventually, she flew off. Captured in the sunny midafternoon (around 15:30 PM) of late-September 2024 in Japan.
