Cupido comyntas
I'm not sure what type of butterfly or moth this is, but it is plentiful in my yard and very difficult to photograph. I would guesstimate it is less than 1" tall and when seen from a couple feet away or more it looks pale blue.
I am glad you got the correct Hairstreak because my brain doesn't compute which one it could be. HA!

The color of the opened wings is where the difference is notable. Check out my Gray Haistreak here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/144...
Yours has the beautiful blue!
