Great Purple Hairstreak - What a Find!

This is a rare sighting in the City and my first in 12 years of butterfly gardening. Well worth the wait. It is hard to capture the extreme beauty of this large hairstreak. Compared to the Grey Hairsteak, it is about 3X larger. The larval host for it is Mistletoe, oddly enough.
