The little blue butterflies came to the front yard today. Some are a little tattered.

@dillyd@turtleisland.social Those look like a type of blue Hairstreak, which also comes in gray. When you see tattered wings on males, odds are fairly great that they got into a territorial squabble with another male. Or attempted to mate with a female that just wasn't having it.
