Purple
Hairstreak
Quercusia quercus

Very closely allied to oak trees.
The larvae feed on oak leaves while the butterflies are rarely seen as
they fly around outer upper branches of oaks, and ash if nearby.
Adult males prefer ash to oak to bask in the sun and await passing females!
Feed on honeydew. Very elusive.
