We dedicate this photo and our prayers to all those who are suffering from the effects of the tornados that hit Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee and other states recently.
The butterfly is a green hairstreak that is to found resting on the leaves of small shrubs. It can be hard to see. Its top side is brown and the underside green and is hard to see even when it is flying. I took the photograph on Fontmell Downs in May of this year.
