Description Lepidoptera is the order of insects that includes moths and butterflies. The name comes from all the tiny scales covering their wings.

Thanks to duggiehoo I know that this is Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus). I took this picture in UNC Coker Arboretum, NC, USA.

He's so cute! I love the furriness; the way his eye looks, and the general contrast. Lovely capture.
