One more for today...I was out picking food for the little cats and headed over to my Sweetbay tree. I found scary green bug again and this time I squished him. Platform sandals are great for that, LOL! Anyway, on my way out the door I noticed this little butterfly sitting on one of my bromeliads. I ran back in to get my camera (and the battery that was charging). Turns out I have a Red-Banded Hairstreak. As you all have seen I've been getting Gray Hairstreaks but this is the first Red-Banded I've seen in quite a while. He was looking a little worse for wear, too. Hopefully, there's a pair of them out there making little caterpillars so I can see more!
