Right now the mistletoe is in all the trees, and used to despise it. This of course is not mistletoe but it is the butterfly that uses it as a host plant. The first time I found a Great Purple Hairstreak nectaring and then after research, found out that mistletoe was it's host plant. I have a lot more respect for it now.
