The first one is blue pansy with scientific name Junonia orithya. It is native to Africa and south east Asia.
I captured it in Rose and Jasmine garden Islamabad. I did not find it in lahore. It was captured in early winter so chances are there it migrated from the upper hills areas. It is sun loving species and found mostly on dirt, grass and other open areas.
In Australia this butterfly is known as the Blue Argus. Although it is a common butterfly of Pakistan, i am yet to find it in lahore.

O how fascinating and beautiful! The colour looks as if it has been dusted on the wings!

What an interesting pattern. The blue and brown are an unusual combination with a sort of earthy look but does not detract from the butterflies beauty.

Greetings, I am the one with a blog 'as far as burkina'.
Not that is makes any difference, but what was your grade in geography?
I noticed that butterflies, dragonflies, damsells were a hit in 2010 down Indonesia and India..
Until then...
Absolutely beautiful detail and color of those wings!
