Great purple hairstreak

This is probably the easiest of the hairstreaks to identify. The body is black with white spots except for the abdomen which is blue on top and orange underneath. Like most hairstreaks, the wings are together only showing the underside which is a dark grey with a blue streak on the forewing and iridescent spots and tails on the hind wings which create a false head to fool predators. The wingspread is 1.25 to 1.5 inches.
