Strymon melinus (Gray Hairstreak) - Strymon melinus
East Orlando, Little Econ River, Orange County, Florida, USA
June 21, 2005
Size: 3/4 in.
Closest match I could find was Satyrium edwardsii but the markings are slightly different.

Satyrium ??
This is a Strymon melinus or Gray Hairstreak. It is a lovely shot of a very freshly emerged butterfly.
