Yes it is a gray hairstreak...individuals coloration ranges from a brown (like yours) to a stark pale gray. Nice that you get so many species in MN!

Thanks, Bob. It looked gray sitting on the flower, but when I downloaded it unto the computer it looked so brown, I wasn't sure. It was pure luck that I even noticed it. They are so small.

I am looking forward to purchasing a macro lens to capture these beautiful creatures.

I'd love to join you, but I'm back in Oregon. I'm looking forward to seeing your shots. If you have a speedlight with a high guide number, I would recommend you take it. I assume that what you are using with that fresnel ring lens will work.

Sorry to hear you had a hard drive crash. Hope you had most of your pictures backed up.

Yes, all the ones I shared were taken in Minnesota.
