Eastern Tailed Blue - Everes comyntas - female - with a curious defect in the right forewing. A part of the wing near the apex seems never to have fully extended. I have seen a lot of wear and damage to wings of butterflies, but never another like this, but a fellow enthusiast at the BugGuide website tells me he has seen this deformity several times, always in the same part of a forewing.
