Gray Hairstreak on Milkweed (20517523199)
Description:
Description: Being a butterfly means always being ready to defend yourself. This Gray Hairstreak saw me coming and flew to this stance in which its eye spots are pointing up. A predator might hit the tail thinking it was the head. Date: 18 August 2015, 15:19. Source: Gray Hairstreak on Milkweed. Author: John Flannery from Richmond County, North Carolina, USA.
