  1. a cute one (:

    lol


  2. When asking for an animal id please include the location of the photograph.  This is particularly important with insects.

    It is one of the hairstreaks.  You really need to be a pro and have the critter in hand for an accurate id.  There is a lot of variability and a lot of color phases.  I found a couple possible matches.  If you want to spend some time on that web page maybe you could find something that looks more like your

    photo.

  3. I'm guessing you're in the USA or Canada as both the possibilities are butterflies that are found in those areas

    It's either an Eyed Brown (Satyrodes eurydice) http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/speci...

    or an Appalachian Brown (Satyrodes appalachia) http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/speci...

    I'm no expert on North American butterflies (I'm in the UK) but these seem the most likely options

    It is absolutely NOT one of the Hairstreaks
