Gray Hairstreak

It would be difficult to top my Gray Hairstreak from a year ago — http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2014-09-15 — but I like the detail of the antenna, legs and texture of the wings offered by this shot and this is the first Gray Hairstreak I've photo'ed this year.

Confirmed at BAMONA as “Strymon melinus” or “Gray Hairstreak”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1066474

Great details on both the leaf and the butterfly.
