This tiny fellow may be the first butterfly whose antennae and eyes are more interesting than the wings - though I never got a good look at the top side, as it was gone in a flash when it flew.
Sorry I haven't been around much. Internet troubles again.
Check out all the cool closeups at Macro Monday!

Hej! A beautiful picture. Looks like a Brown Hairstreak.
Cheers

It is so irritating with internet troubles. When this happens I feel totally helpless! Hope your troubles are over.
She is gorgeous
Beautiful butterfly and the antennae is unlike any I've noticed before.
Thanks Daryl and Magdalena!
Carver, I don't recall seeing anything like it either. Thyra, I've followed your suggestion and I think you're right. It's some kind of hairstreak, but there are so many I'm not sure which. Thanks for the tip!
The butterfly is likely prettier when it opens out. I think they blend into their environment better when they fold their wings. This is a great shot of the antennae!
I love his pretty antennae!
Lovely photo, great DOF. I just got a macro lens. Now I have to find time to use it!
A brown hairstreak? I will have to look that up..but lovely photo...
