Pretty Eastern Tailed Blue Butterfly At Fort Hill On Cape Cod

1 Comment

I saw this pretty little Eastern Tailed Blue Butterfly while we were hiking at Fort Hill the other day. It  is a small blue butterfly with a wingspan of 3/4-1″.  Above it is blue with a darker border and underneath it is gray with black spots and a little orange patch.

So pretty and delicate, don’t you think? Have you ever seen one?
