Image of Great Purple Hairstreak
Description:
such a beautiful butterfly Am curious about the behavior- it stayed on this leaf for an extended period and was rubbing it wings and tails together. When it left there were drops on the leaves as in the last picture. Is it laying eggs??? appeared to be a liquid though...
