Arctic Blue
Plebejus glandon

Observation date: July 09, 2023
Submitted by: tjay13
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This one seems to be Artic with the two tiny black spots along the edge of HW. White PM and SM spots seem to merge on HW. Considered Boisduval's here somewhat but think the tiny black spots would likely rule that one out.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: July 12, 2023
Coordinator notes: good call. the black FW cell spot separates Arctic from Boisduval's
Checklist region(s): United States, New Mexico, Santa Fe County
