7/19 5:30-6:00pm

6 banded hairstreaks 

I found a robber fly that had caught one of the banded hairstreaks. I think Asilus sericeus (butterfly hunter) iNat common name. See sad photo attached.

I saw the woods was still sunlit at 7pm and made a quick look and found 1 hairstreak still flying around.
