- This Gray Hairstreak Butterfly was folded up when I first saw him and from the angle I didn’t know what it was at first.
It was pretty small with a wingspan of just 1 – 1¼ inches (2.5 – 3.2 cm) per online resources.
He finally turned so I could see the outside of his wings.
I think the wing’s underside is more striking, and liked the upside down pose.
Ha! While in college I had a friend named Basil and he did have a butterfly tattoo. 🙂
Most interesting wings with outllines, wonder why.
He is gorgeous, I have never seen a butterfly so delicate and colorful. His antennas are amazing.
I was pretty amazed, too, Sandra! It was one of those times when I was developing the images that I wished I had taken more.
Very pretty!
