Banded Hairstreak? - Satyrium calanus
Lowville, Halton, Ontario, Canada
July 22, 2008
Mount Nemo Conservation Area
I'm leaning towards Banded with this one.

Taken in a field of clover and wildflowers beside a mature dec forest with lots of oak, maples, hickorys and such. I was hoping for some Hickory Hairstreaks but the more I look at these photos the more I think all I have are Bandeds. (I did have a number of Stripeds that day too but they are easy to ID.)
