Olive Hairstreak

This green colored butterfly is perched on a False Garlic (Nothoscordum bivalve). These pretty flowers bloom March thru May and are in the Lilly family. They do not smell like garlic, but rather their name is derived from the plant's onion-like appearance. Look for this plant in fields, pastures, open woods and thin-soil around limestone outcrops.
