Sandia Hairstreak Redux

sandia hairstreak butterfly
A Sandia Hairstreak butterfly (Callophrys mcfarlandi) as it sits on a blade of beargrass. Although the common wisdom is that beargrass is exactly where these butterflies like to hang out, yesterday was the first time I actually saw one there. (You can see more photos of New Mexican butterflies here and here.)
