Found this guy on my wild cherry. Very small, probably first instar. No idea what it is. I live in Long Island, in NY. Thanks for any help you can give!

It's in the family Lycaenidae; see http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/135286857 for a more mature example...

Oh, thank you so much for the quick reply. We were thinking we'd have to wait until he got a bit bigger to identify him. So appreciated!!
