Grey Hairstreak Butterfly 2 - Strymon melinus

Grey Hairstreak Butterfly 2 - Strymon melinus
Cass County, Texas, USA
October 25, 2007
I have placed this in "Strymon melinus". I will wait for better info as to whether it is a male or female. This top view with wings open is a hard POV to get since they seldom open their wings unless actually flying.
