Red-banded Hairstreak
Calycopis cecrops

Observation date: July 22, 2015
Submitted by: Joe Saunders
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm not sure whether I should be mad at the wren that fed the hairstreak to her young, or grateful that she left me a wing in our nearby childrens' pool. I understand if you need a whole specimen for confirmation.
