Banded hairstreak (Satyrium calanus)

There must have been at least three banded hairstreaks around today. I saw two in the Butterfly Meadow, one very badly chewed up, one partly chewed up, and then Barry had this lovely specimen on milkweed by the centre.

Ooooh, this is a gorgeous shot. I don't think I've seen a Banded Hairstreak before. I've got a Hickory this year though! V
