Satyrium sylvinus
The Sylvan Hairstreak is a small, colorful butterfly with beautiful blue and orange patterns on its wings. It loves to flutter around in sunny spots, especially near trees and flowers.
Hábitat: Forests
The Sylvan Hairstreak has brownish-gray wings on top, with a lighter underside featuring a distinct white line, often edged with orange, running across its hindwings. It also typically sports small, dark eyespots and delicate "tails" near its hindwing margins. This combination helps it stand out from plainer brown butterflies.
