Ruddy Hairstreak
Electrostrymon sangala

Observation date: November 23, 2024
Submitted by: Robert Gorman
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Set of long tails and also seems to be a set of short tails, cloudy most of the day but hot especially in pm when it cleared it seemed so humid. NBC sunken garden just behind the entrance. This shrub was a big hit with the hairstreaks. This one seemed to be fairly fresh and has better color so we decided to post it too.
