Males are generally blue on the upper side of their wings while females are lighter blue to brown or charcoal in colouring, but there are also varieties of purple and pink found in both sexes. The underside coloration ranges from bluish-white to tan. The butterfly is 21 to 29 mm wide with wings outstretched and slightly shorter in length. Eastern Tailed-blue butterflies feed on various legumes and are known to secrete a substance which is favoured by some ant species.
