A Purple Hairstreak Please?
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 1:51 pm
I spotted the character in the picture earlier today in our local Foots Cray Meadows:
I have not seen many Hairstreaks apart from a few Green Hairstreaks and one definite Purple Hairstreak on an Oak Tree.
There was a nearby Oak Tree and another couple of unidentified Trees; not I think Elm Trees.
The Oak Tree would suggest that my new acquaintance is a Purple Hairstreak; annoyingly, I didn't see the Wings Open.
However, looking at various pictures she/he seems not unlike a White Letter Hairsteak; that being said, I'm plumping for Purple Hairstreak in view of the nearby Oak Tree.
So help please. Thanks in advance ...
