Is it some sort of hairstreak?

Yes, a Juniper hairstreak (Callophrys gryneus)! Shortly after, I found two Henry’s Elfins (Callophrys henrici) on the same plant as well

This happens to me all the time.
Latest occurrence a couple of days ago, when I took a picture of two Bombylius individuals sitting on the ground. Turned out they belonged to different species.
Then I saw a large bumblebee queen that looked different from the ones I normally see around here. Tried to get a picture, but she was not cooperative.
Only later at home did I discover she was in the Bombylius picture:

A first for me, BTW.

I have to say, it gives a slightly more sinister feel to the photo!
