Greenish Grass Dart Ocybadistes walkeri

From my backyard, these feisty little butterflies have wings the size of  your finger nail and are constantly having battles with each other over perch positions.  They can be approached with care slowly to get some nice closeups.  Handheld two image stack at about 2x a little tricky as it moved one antennae between frames and that was one thing I was trying to pull into focus with the stack.

Excellent details, especially the antennae, face, and eyes.
