I don’t know much about the courting behavior of Eastern Tailed-blue butterflies (Cupido comyntas), but the male at the bottom of the photo was actively pursuing a female when I photographed them on Wednesday in Prince William County. Eastern Tailed-blues are tiny butterflies, with a wingspan of about an inch (25 mm), so you have to look really closely to see the single narrow tail on each hind wing. When their wings are closed, Eastern Tailed-blues are mostly grayish0-white in color, so it was a real visual treat to be able to capture them with their wings open.

Awesome shot.
I love the visual texture of the wings that you have so deftly captured with your photo.
Thanks, Laura. I love trying to capture the details of tiny subjects like these butterflies using my macro lens. With the naked eyes such details would be tough to pick out.
Gorgeous
Lovely
Thanks, Louella.
Nice image!
