Hickory Hairstreak
Satyrium caryaevorus

Observation date: June 13, 2024
Submitted by: naj.pilla
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: These hairstreaks can be tricky. Originally want to call it S. calanus, but the white band on both sides of the forewing band leads it more into S. caryaevorus. The blue patch is also a little longer than the orange so I guess tentatively calling this S. caryaevorus.
