This Henry's Elfin Callophrys henrici-
was photographed in my yard on Lake Worth, Tarrant County on March
11, 2004; when first seen, in flight, I thought it as going to
be a smallish, slow (cold) Duskywing, due to its size - this is
the largest Elfin I've seen locally. When I saw it through my
camera I was astounded to see the mint-green scaling on the underwings
- this green was every bit as visible in life as it is in these
images:
