Ontario’s committee on the status of at-risk species also improved the categorization of seven others as a result of its 2022 report

The pumpkin ash received the direst listing of the four, being given the endangered designation by the Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario. Species on the endangered list face “imminent extinction” in Ontario. The northern oak hairstreak is described in the committee’s report as a “small brownish-grey butterfly with ‘tails’ on its hindwings” and orange and blue patches that are becoming “increasingly scarce” in the few parts of southern Ontario that it inhabits. The main threat to the northern oak hairstreak in Ontario is the invasive spongy moth, the committee’s report said.
