Banded Hairstreak
Satyrium calanus

Observation date: July 13, 2019
Submitted by: Ed Rothwell
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: About a dozen hairstreaks launching from a bush in a wooded opening, twirling around, and landing back on the bush. Most photos look like banded hairstreaks, but I think this might be a hickory hairstreak.
