Status
King's Hairstreak (Satyrium kingi) is a southeastern species, at the northern limit of its range in Maryland. This butterfly is highly local and vulnerable in Maryland, as its host plant, Common Sweetleaf, is found only in wooded swamps in a relatively small area of the eastern shore. It flies from late June to late July in Maryland (Butterflies of Maryland: A Biological Summary and Checklist by Lynn Davidson & Richard Smith; Brock & Kaufman 2003).
Relationships
King's Hairstreak utilizes Common Sweetleaf (Symplocos tinctoria) as a larval host.
