Best butterfly of the day was an Aquamarine Hairstreak (Oenomaus ortygnus). This is the 5th US Record and it was photographed at the National Butterfly Center in Mission, TX.

It hung around for about 20 minutes so lots of folks got to photograph this extremely rare butterfly.

ps...today was also the ribbon cutting ceremony for the National Butterfly Center (see above post of Jeff Glassberg with scissors in hand)
