Lasaia sula graces the skies from April to December, primarily thriving in grassy woodlands, open subtropical forests, along the edges of woods, and in agricultural areas.
   They exemplifiy nature’s beauty and ecological significance, captivating observers across the Americas.
   Males display a metallic blue green on the dorsal sides of all the four wings accompanied by random small black spots, whereas the females show a checkered gray pattern with black spots, and lack the bluish green hue.
   The edges of all the wings are bordered by light to darker shades of gray. When the wings are closed, both the sexes display checker spots and a grayish brown coloration.
   They have a medium flight pattern, while gracefully navigating their habitat.
   Males initiate the matingprocess by employing a unique strategy, patrolling certain areas within their habitat in search of receptive females.

    These flights, known as mating flights, usually occur in the morning, with light glisteningly off their brilliantly blue wings.

   On identifying a potential mate, the males commence a ritualistic courtship.

   As a part of this ritual, the males perform a sort of aerial dance, fluttering around the females while exuding irresistible pheromones.

   This behavior is designed to signal the male’s fitness and genetic superiority.

   Touched by the male’s pheromones, a receptive female will allow the male to mate with her. However, if she’s not interested, she’ll respond by closing her wings and refusing to participate further.

   This fascinating procedure ensures that only the most well suited and genetically fit individuals get to pass on their genes.
