Great Purple Hairstreak - Atlides halesus World Birding Center HQ at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
On Texas Lantana (L. horrida). Curiously, this critter is not on the flowers, but on overripe fruit. I often see Emperors (Asterocampa spp.) feeding on old, wrinkly Lantana berries, but not hairstreaks.
