Thank you, Natasha. I double-checked the ID, and while it is not those, it isn't the Summer Azure, either. But it is in the Azure complex. I have updated the ID.
Yes, it has been and it's frustrating for a person like me. I have re-checked iNat for updates on this observation and it actually was changed. I am updating this post. The checked edge of the hindwing makes it, probably, a Northern Azure (Celastrina lucia). But it's not yet confirmed, so I'll stick with the complex.

ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Andree.

These tiny blues always make me happy in the Spring, and sorry to see the colder Fall hatch. They are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've never see one in this color. It's most beautiful.

ReplyDeleteOn your question for my WW: I'm not sure that that is Russian Thistle, but something that looks similar?
