Grass Jewel (Freyeria trochylus) playing Hide-and-Seek behind an Oxalis leaf.

The Grass Jewel is considered one of the smallest butterflies on the planet, with a wingspan rarely exceeding 18 mm. This photograph perfectly illustrates its natural discretion as it shelters behind the characteristic lobes of an Oxalis leaf.
