Gray Hairstreak Butterfly

Strymon melinus

Description:

Small butterfly with moving fake antennae in the back. Cool! Wing span is only 7/8 - 1 3/8 inch (2.2 - 3.5 cm)

Habitat:

Meadow in the Poconos.

Notes:

I tried to turn distant from a few feet into MACROS! It just doesn't work! I edited the original photo to better clarity.
