Banded Hairstreak
Satyrium calanus

Observation date: June 29, 2023
Submitted by: Chet Gottfried
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The hairstreak was nectaring among the white flowers. It didn't move much but continually turned, first one way and then another, but essentially stayed in the same spot. The hairstreak appeared very dark, so I set the exposure according (blowing the highlights to the flowers).
