Boisduval's Blue
Plebejus icarioides

Observation date: June 23, 2024
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: There seem to be multiple Blue species in this area all during the same timeframe, which is making identification a bit confusing; Greenish Blue, Arrowhead, and now this, which I had initially thought might be an arrowhead without prominent arrowheads, but am now realizing may be Boisduval's, which can have the nearly all-white spotting on the underwings.
