Erora laeta, the early hairstreak, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found in eastern Canada and the United States.[2][3] The habitat consists of deciduous and mixed woods.
The larvae are associated with American beech (Fagus grandifolia), and possibly also beaked hazelnut (Corylus cornuta).[2] They feed on the leaves and fruits of their host plant.
