Northern Azure
Celastrina lucia

Observation date: July 11, 2023
Submitted by: Tom Dudones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: July 15, 2023
Coordinator notes: Difficult to ID with full certainty...however, darker submarginal wings with persistent checkering on the HWs, loosely along with location, would favor second-brood C. lucia over C. neglecta (C. ladon would no longer be in flight this time of year). -jmgesell
