Coordinator notes: This is a Bramble Hairstreak which blends to subspecies superperplexa and which may have some sheridani/comstocki DNA. Confused? That is why it is named super perplexing in English!-Ken Davenport Notice that finally we got the Bramble and Coastal Green Hairstreak names fixed?-Ken Davenport
