Strymon melinus. Gray hairstreak, part of the Scrub-Hairsteaks group. May be confused with the Western Tailed-Blue but differs in several respects including its dashed hindwing pattern (line of white dashes with black dashes inside), its orange-tipped antennal clubs, and the tuft of orange-red hairs on its head. Male Gray Hairsteaks have orange abdomens.Resting here on Lonicera tatarica (Tatarian honeysuckle), a shrub of Eurasian origin that has escaped cultivation and is increasingly becoming invasive in our area.April 28, 2012, Popperton Park, Salt Lake City, Utah, elevation 4,950 ft.

For The Full EffectThere is an old victorian walled garden which was long abandoned to neglect and decay until a group of hard working volunteers with great ambition arrived to try to rescue it from its despair. They are making a lovely garden inside but are leaving large areas for the wildlife that had made it a home. A large count of butterflies this morning including this beauty. Female Common Blue.+1 in comments

LargeBeside the grass ride behind the ambulance station, a clump of thistles in flower. This pretty little Holly Blue butterfly went from flower to flower supping nectar. Don't you love the way the purple of the flower is reflected on the underside of the butterfly!
