I watched this Eastern Tailed-blue Butterfly for about 15 minutes, until good 'ol Murphy
decided to "off-road" through the field, scaring it away. It was breezy, and he seemed
shy about fully opening his wings.

One interesting thing I noticed was every time he landed, his lower wings would cycle around
for a bit in a circular motion as if he was rubbing them together.
