Yellow-eyed Cupid (Cupido argiades or Everes argiades) is a small blue butterfly with a light silvery-gray underside of the wings with a bluish sheen along the body and one to three orange spots with a black dot in the outer lower corner of the hind wings, just next to the short tails. The male's wings are dorsally uniform blue-violet with a narrow black border along the outer edge and a band of white fringe on it. The female, however, has more black on the upperside, and the blue-violet color is limited to the central part of the upperside of the wings.
Yellow-eyed short-tailed occurs from the sea to the mid-mountains. It flies through flowering shrublands, grassy slopes and forest clearings. In our country it is quite a rare and locally distributed butterfly, which can be quickly mistaken for the more common pale azure (Celastrina argiolus) because of its bright underside.
