White-M Hairstreak
Parrhasius m album

Observation date: April 16, 2016
Submitted by: cblazo
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I was able to see the turquoise in flight. Very eye catching. It seems as if the butterfly was attacked by the chunk missing from it's hindwing. It would rest for long periods of time all the while rubbing it's hindwings together. Very nice and sunny with a slight breeze. 65 degrees.
