Canada Thistle, Gray Hairstreak


Since I'm just a butterfly beginner, everything that I see is interesting and new.  I believe this is a Gray Hairstreak,  Strymon melinus.  I captured this image last Friday afternoon, August 27, on the Delaware Wildlife Area.

  2. This was the first year that I saw the Gray Hairstreak and like you wasn't sure what it was. It's a neat butterfly! Wish I could get some better shots of it. This is very nice!
