Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) showed up in garden yesterday taking nectar from ornamental oregano. "Most widespread hairstreak" (Opler & Wright 1999) across the country. Stunning even at only an inch or so in size :-)

Mostly gray butterfly with two orange spots and two spotted dark lines immediate trailing edge of rear wing.
Macro image of Gray Hairstreak butterfly...named for color and single threadlike extension on trailing edge of rear wing :-)
