The Lantana Scrub-Hairstreak, Strymon bazochii, (butterfliesandmoths link) is a new species for me and a nice one! I have these same 3 images in my gallery, so I won’t link to it. But I was fortunate to get both the side view and a top view, which really helps with the identification! And with all the wind this year, few ever land with wing open and it is very difficult to catch one in flight on the camera as I did here! 🙂
And maybe you would like to see other Hairstreaks and similar tiny Gossamer Wings in that Lycaenidae family of butterflies in my gallery.
¡Pura Vida!

Thanks Gordona! Just a fun hobby to keep a hyperactive old man busy! 🙂 But catching anything in flight is difficult!
