A hairstreak doing special hairstreak things. I find them so entertaining. Amazing physical and behavioral adaptations to fool potential predators to attack non-essential body parts. Pseudo antennae and eyes at their posterior. 🦋 #butterflies #insects #bugsky #nature #EastCoastKin #hairstreak
Laeosopis roboris is the sole representative of its genus. It's restricted to Iberia & SE France, locally sometimes common. The larval foodplant is Fraxinus, the wintering egg can survive longer periods under water of foodplants growing in winter beds of streams

A green hairstreak. The butterfly is facing left, but its head is turned away from the camera. As a result, the eye is barely visible and one of the antennae can be seen. It is alternating white and black up to very near the tip, where it turns all black with a small orange spot at the tip. The wings, which are closed, are a brilliant green with light brown edging with a line of small white dots just to the right of the center of the wing. It is perched atop a small blade of grass.

The Angerona hairstreak or Bronze hairstreak Electrostrymon angerona Butterfly, on a Tridax daisy. The nuances of the oranges, blues, and mottled blacks are hard to untangle, but make for beautiful markings. You can see them blending on tge lower wings which are held closed. The upper wings has less markings. This Butterfly is found in Montserrat and Dominica, along with other islands in the lesser Antilles, where it is endemic.

White letter hairstreak seen at top of an Elm.
Occasionally coming down to nectar on bramble.
The green hairstreak is a lovely little butterfly that comes in subtle, pale yellow-greens and green-blues, combinations that I personally really enjoy. I could've sworn I'd seen one before, but I can't find a map of their range in the US.

Banded hairstreak on a green leaf. The leaf extends into the picture at an angle from the bottom left of the photo. The butterfly is near the end in the middle of the photo and casting a shadow. Its wings are a brownish grey with darker brown spots edged in white all along the outer edges and extending in several rows. At the bottom of the hindwing there is a small orange line, then a slate spot, with a small tail sticking out beside it. Above that there are a couple more orange spots surround by black lines and white lines. The butterfly's head is dark with two vertical white lines. Its antennae and legs are alternating black and white.

#Callophyrus gryneus - Juniper Hairstreak
This has been a bucket list species for me ever since I read my midwest butterfly guide book a couple years back. Easily made my entire day, I'm elated.

A photo taken at night under ultra-violet light. Elm foliage and flowers reflects purple. In the centre, a bright blue oval is a caterpillar of White-letter Hairstreak.
A photo taken a night under white light from a torch. A pale-green White-letter Hairstreak caterpillar sits on an Elm leaf. Above and behind are paler green Elm flowers.
The site had no previous records of White-letter Hairstreak, despite all the Elms. So a small group of Kent Field Club members returned after dark with UV torches. Result - a brand new site found for this scarce species! #butterflies #butterfly #hairstreak

The lower one is the same color and also has several black dots toward the edge and three of them toward the center and near the top. There are about eight orange spots at the edge of the wing. The butterfly is atop the flowers of butterfly weed, a brilliant orange flower. To the right are more of the butterfly weed flowers and to the left are some butterfly weed buds and flowers just opening. The background is all green.
