Bentsen Telea - Chlorostrymon telea
World Birding Center at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
June 27, 2009
Other people have better photos of this species than I do, but since the Guide has none yet... The critter was nectaring high in Texas Sabal Palm trees, so made photography difficult, especially given that this butterfly is smaller than your average fingernail!

Sounds like a tricky situation...
...to try and get usable shots, but a good addition to the guide nevertheless. Thanks for posting these, Joshua.
