A small blue butterfly is perched on a plant. This is an Eastern Tailed-Blue, a butterfly which derives its name from the narrow tail on the hind wing. This butterfly is said to be one of the East's most abundant butterflies, having adapted readily to human activities. Typical habitats of the Eastern Tailed-Blue are open, sunny places, including meadows, forest clearings, disturbed areas, and city lots.
