Name: josephine Arlington, Texas (Zone 8a) Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.
Thank you for the article Christine, and thank you for the link Sheila, that is a very neat site.
I love those elusive Great purple Hairstreaks.

They are pretty large, but few and far inbetween. You can see a regular hairstreak in the lower portion of my picture for comparison! We just don't get that many I guess.

It was this past year that I saw my first Great purple hairstreak! It was so striking with its bright colors, it caught my eye! I tried to get a pic but it didn't turn out very clear! Ha!
I really enjoyed the site too, Sheila, thank you!
