Silky Hairstreak

Reason

Quite a lucky find given it's rarity. The closed wing habit seems pretty typical - I followed this one about the bush for quite a while and it wouldn't open it's wings except in flight.

• Support. Nice composition, colours, and very sharp. Per Diliff, agree that background is slightly disturbing as it makes the image appear as a studio shot. Elekhh ( talk) 00:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC) reply
