Red-banded Hairstreak - Calycopis cecrops
I am a Red-banded Hairstreak
I have two tails that hang off my hindwings
I mostly have the lighter color shown here,
But might be darker if you see me in the spring.

(This photo was taken in the autumn. See the link below for a photo of the darker version.)

Location: Kissimmee Prairie State Park
