A hairstreak is a butterfly with the thin body and colors differ in many cases with a sex. Although the table of a male wing has many kinds which are blue, copper, purple, etc. and are shining like Jewel Beetle, the kind of brown or orange is also in it. The reverse side is a simple color and a small spot with a blackish center has a sex. Many kinds of larvae take out the special liquid which an ant eats. An ant protects the larva of a hairstreak from a foreign enemy instead, and the larva of a hairstreak is allowed to eat the larva of an ant.
