First I've seen here, spotted by staff youth woodlands crew. The tiny butterfly perched on our office trailer in the picnic house lot. Oaks a primary host,as we're surrounded by them here. Pretty good start for Monday morning!
Info What are the host plants for red banded hairstreak?
Larval host plants include fallen leaves of wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), dwarf sumac (Rhus copallina), staghorn sumac (R. typhina), and several oaks.
