Banded Hairstreak
Satyrium calanus

Observation date: June 24, 2023
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This seems to be the Banded, since it doesn't have the orange spot above the blue patch, but in my book it notes the Banded is out in spring in the south and then summer going northward. I would have thought I'd be too far south for it to be out in late June, but I guess not?
