Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) Santa Ana NWR, Hidalgo Co., TX 2 May 2018 There were several Gray Hairstreaks "tree-topping" and chasing each other around 5pm today. I observed them from the top of a canopy observation tower. They always landed flat-winged. While I've seen this behavior in other hairstreak species, I'd never seen it in this species before. |
