Description

I was delighted to find this little guy on my salvia plant. At the time I had no idea what it was, I've since looked it up and found it's a Grey hairstreak butterfly. Though it's common, it's new to me!

Perfect dof, Julie - from the beautiful shallow b/g to the excellent details from tail-end to antennae on this tiny guy. You and your macro are smokin', Cuz! :) :) Excellent work! #10805325
