Northern Hairstreak? - Satyrium calanus
Burlington Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
June 11, 2009
Size: 1.25 inch (small)
I found this sitting on my walkway this morning--captured it and took a few indoor photos, and then set it free outdoors again. I'm not so good at butterflies, but my guess is Northern Hairstreak?
