Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct and I think I have explained the situation with this blue to you before as well? The better common name is "Buckwheat Blue" because the host is buckwheat (as it is feeding on in your photo) throughout its range. An unfortunate scientific naming (lupini)...Boisduval's Blue is really the Lupine Blue because the only host it uses are Lupines through out its range. Mike
