The Zebra Blue or Plumbago Blue (Leptotes plinius) is a small, brownish, blue-grey, fast-flying butterfly (family Lycaenidae) found in open woodland, scrubland, and drier regions, often near Plumbago plants. It can also be found at the edges of evergreen forests. Adults typically fly just a few meters above the ground and are usually seen fluttering around their food plants. Recent reports indicate that butterfly populations are declining at a catastrophic rate due to the use of insecticides, climate change, and habitat loss. A Zebra Blue butterfly rests on a leaf in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 8, 2025.
