Description
I don't know butterflies, but this looks like some kind of Hairstreak or Elfin. Butterflies are generally too big and too shy for me to get decent macro shots of, but I still try. Sometimes I can get photos of them while they are sleeping , but they are covered in dew. I finally managed to snag a shot of one in the dry daylight, the key was to find one too lazy from the hot sun to quickly get up and move. Not having the dew, I can see a lot of nice details in the wings. They look so fuzzy up close, like some sort of teddy bear monstrosity.
