What a wonderful evening at Mockingbird Nature Park! There were about 60 folks that showed up for the 'mothing' kick off of the City Nature Challenge, and some cool bugs showed up (despite the fairly windy conditions).

This is the first (and thus far only) record of species for more than 50 years; it has previously been considered extinct. Thanks to Fabian Boetzl and Jiri Moravec for the ID.
Had such a tremendous time with fellow naturalists at Timberlake Field Station. https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/pfau_tarleton/52212-june-bioblitz-timberlake-field-station
Still working on LOTS of these ID's...

I was editing this and accidentally deleted it so this is a repost of it, I was going to add images to it but had the wrong butterfly added then deleted that and removed this entire file, Location and Date are correct
I thought this was a grey hairstreak at first, but as it was flitting about, the wings seemed to be almost light blue in color, which surprised me. I managed to get a shot of it after it landed, and the patterning seems different from the usual hairstreaks I see around here (though I don’t necessarily pay close attention).
For further details, this was at a nursery nectaring on a planted Buddleia marrubifolia before it took off and landed on the ground.
