That's a fly from the genus Lucilia.

Carrion butterflies, gotta love when nature does its regular thing with the conventionally cute ones. Great to see a lycaenid do this. Should've known, I usually see them drooling over riverbank minerals.

Some butterflies want minerals, so they will feed on corpses, excrements or tears.
