The Purple Hairstreak is our commonest Hairstreak but is not often noticed. Males have a purple upper wings whereas females have just a purple patch. The underwings are similar in both sexes, being lilac-brown crossed by a white 'hair-streak' and with an orange eye-spot next to a small tail streamer.

Habitat

Found around oak trees. It is often difficult to locate, due to its habit of flying in the tree canopy; however, the adults are occasionally seen basking at lower levels, on various small trees, shrubs and bracken.

When to see it

July and August

Life History

The adults feed on honeydew in the tree canopy and the larvae feed on oak buds.

normally I curse the "dapple" in a forest because it creates too much contrast for the camera. this time I just exposed for the leaves, let the trunks go dark, and let a few highlights blow out just slightly. the result is that for once this really does sort of *feel* like how it appeared. love that light.

Bulls Head Road Tree Tunnel by Diana House

I guess farmers plant these rows of trees to act as a windbreak?

I would say that the trees in these photos are either Gimlets (Eucalyptus Salubris), Salmon Gums (Eucalyptus Salmonophloia), Red Morrel (Eucalyptus Longicornis) or a mixture of them. Considering the dark-colored bark reaching almost to the top of the branches, these are probably Red Morrel.

An Applecross Spring by Diana House

The jacaranda trees around the shopping centre where the festival was held were actually not heavily in bloom. However, most of the surrounding residential streets had nice jacaranda canopies.
