INCREDIBLE!
On the margins of an Atlantic White Cedar swamp in an open grassy area, nectaring on Black Cherry in the company of Eastern Pine and Brown Elfin.
As Eastern Redcedar was present at this site we were very cautious to confirm the ID as Hessel’s. We primarily focused on the streaking; the offset white dash at the very top, which is not set out in Juniper - and the inverse shape of the lowest white crescent. Note also the blue-green hue and the overall greater presence of brown.
