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!

Your macro work is so awesome Julie, very beautifully done!! Love how nature provided this one with an extra defence by confusing predators which way it is going. #10805185Mary Beth Aiello August 12, 2013
A gorgeous macro, Julie. #10805261Val Feldman August 12, 2013
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! #10805325Julie Burnett August 12, 2013
