This tiny butterfly looked like the little blue ones except it was brown on both sides of its wings.

Hi Kylie, Common Grass-blue females have a bronze upperside while the males have the mostly blue with some bronze upperside. The flower it is perched on is clover, which is one of their caterpillar food plants :)
