Ipidecla miadora is a small, delicate hairstreak butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. Like many hairstreaks, it is subtle in appearance, with its most distinctive features visible when the wings are closed. This species occurs in Mexico and Central America, where it inhabits forest edges, clearings, and tropical vegetation. Adults are usually seen perching quietly with wings closed, blending into their surroundings, and may occasionally visit flowers or feed on moisture from organic sources.
