This small butterfly was so far away and wouldn't let me get close to it without flying away, but it always came back. I was happy that a few of the photos turned out because I usually only see these blue ones once a year. The Eastern-tailed Blue gets its name because they are blue and have a small tail at the end of each wing.

The orange eyespots on the hindwings serves a purpose for their bird predators. Birds think that the eyespots are the butterfly's head so when the bird pecks at it, a small part of the wing gets damaged but at least the butterfly escapes certain death.
