Hairstreak on Chili Pequin

Posted by Eric Fry (Houston, TX, United States) on 14 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I was only able to get a couple of shots of this butterfly, as he didn't find anything that he wanted to eat. I have never seen a butterfly move as fast as this one could!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,
Eric

What an amazing butterfly, the detail is superb....I could get lost in his wings they are so beautiful. Thank you for a great moment.
Here's hoping you got through the worst of Ike my friend. Look forward to your return:-)

He is gorgeous and this is such a wonderful capture. Wondering how you are making out, but I would assume that you are without power right now and not in a position to let us know. We await news of how you are with bated breath. Take care.
