On 7/7/02, we had a Banded Hairstreak in our Stratford perennial garden.
Also a question:  I have been seeing very very few butterflies about in sw CT 
shoreline areas for weeks now.  Is any one else experiencing this paucity as 
well?  It makes me wonder if past spraying for mosquitoes has reduced 
populations (though there are tons of bees and wasps in our garden).
