A Bramble Green Hairstreak Butterfly.

Kathleen Chasey recently photographed this beautiful butterfly called a Bramble Green Hairstreak, Callophrys dumetorum.

 

They are found only in coastal California, though there is a close relation found in coastal Oregon. Bramble Hairstreaks are on the wing from March through May.

Thanks to Kathleen for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
