Re: Colorado Butterflies ID's
That cleopatra there I think is actually a sulphur butterfly of somekind and the Green Hairstreak may be either the Western Green Hairstreak (Callophrys affinis), Calafornia Green Hairstreak (Callophrys affinis perplexa) or Sad Green Hairstreak (Callophrys miserabilis)
