Rewilding My Lot

I see a lot of these dainty little grey butterflies here. This is a Gray Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) nectaring on a Beebalm, Bee Mine Pink (Monarda didyma).

For a long time, these butterflies confused me because I thought I was seeing pairs that were closely beside each other head to tail. However, the Hairstreaks all seem to have a pair of protrusions on their back end that I was mistaking for antennae. In these photos, the small red box marking is at the back end, and the butterfly is feeding head down.
