Marius Hairstreak at NBC, 11/12/13

Honey and I made a quick run over to the National Butterfly Center this afternoon where we discovered the approaching cold front was already on its way.  Despite the cool blustery weather we saw six species of hairstreaks.  Mark and Holly Salvato from Florida found this Marius Hairstreak.





The greenstreak present for the past couple of days was not found in the blooming chomonque.  It was filled with Clytie Ministreaks and Dusky-blue Groundstreaks.


And yet another Purple-washed Skipper.
