Only about an inch big but what an awesome color! Lime green underside with a prominent silver band and maroon wash. A truly gorgeous little butterfly!!!

Silver-banded Hairstreak Butterfly
Tis a cutie, for sure, Cat !! Fine shot too ..
Hope that someone will soon fetch a pitter of some of these quickened lil flutterbyes .. to be able to capture the topsides of these lil 'live' beauties rather clearly. The undersides are most interestingly varied .. but some of the bright colorations and hues up top, are even more awesomely gorgeous ...
The Hairstreaks and the Sulphurs seem to elude my shutters trigger! (lol) All I seem to ever 'catch' is a good blurrrrrrrr of a shot ...
