A Gray Hairstreak!

This little butterfly loved the blooms on this Prairie Blazing Star at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center In Austin Monday. I was thrilled to identify this butterfly on our National Park website, I loved the name Gray Hairstreak. 😊

What a pretty little butterfly. I would never have imagined that a gray butterfly could be pretty. I love this photo with the purple flowers

The Gray Hairstreak is such a little butterfly - don't see them real often.

What a pretty butterfly, it looks quite shy peeping over the flower.

@milaniet I honestly didn’t notice the streaks on his wings until I downloaded the photo. The Monarchs are long gone so I felt fortunate to find him.

@grammyn I loved the name of the wildflowers he was flitting around on as much as I loved his name. Smile. Thank you for your comment!

@louannwarren I was so enthralled with the little butterfly that I completely skipped over the title of the flower! I have to agree with you, it is terrific.
