Coordinator notes: Lucky for you, the only Azure species you need to worry about in your area is the Northern. Spring Azures in Canada are only found in far southern Ontario. When you get further south into the US, you also have Appalachian, Cherry Gall, Holly, and Summer (spring brood) Azures to deal with this time of year! -jmgesell
