Another homerun from Oleander Nursery & The Butterfly Garden At Oleander Acres

Meet our Newest Butterfly, the Telea Hairstreak(Chlorostrymon telea), found by our own Candi Welliver. This is the third confirmed species of Green Butterflies for the Month of June. We have had many Clench's Greenstreak and Silver-'banded Hairstreaks this month but a flash of Royal Blue set this special butterfly apart. We have not gotten a verified photo of the 4th species of Green Butterfly seen by Candi, a Tropical Greenstreak.

This Summer has been amazing thus far for Rare Stray Butterflies, now is a great time to visit and stay in our fully furnished rentals. Guided Plant and Butterfly Tours are available on request.
