With larval Miami blues

The recently arrived Silver-banded Hairstreak is a colonist from the Caribbean that arrived in the keys in the 1970s. We believe that it is outcompeting or eating the larvae of the endangered Miami Blue as well as those of the eulophid wasp. Co-occurrence is more common between the Blue and the wasp.
