Can anyone help me with the ID of this very worn and battered Hairstreak I found today sat on my buddleia? I've never seen a Haistreak before and it was a surprise to find one in my garden.
Thanks,

Thanks Pete, I've just checked the Purple Hairstreak pictures on your site and reading the description etc. I'd have to agree. I have a small oak wood right next to my house. I'm just more surprised that I've never noticed a Hairstreak here before.Pete Eeles wrote:Looks like a Purple Hairstreak to me.
Cheers again,
