On a trip to Meigs and McMinn counties last weekend with Mindy Fawver and 
Harold Howell, we found an atypically marked Juniper Hairstreak.  See attached.

I wasn’t able to find a match for this hindwing pattern among the many 
described races/subspecies of the species.  Is this just individual variation?
