Ellis' Dotted-Blue
Euphilotes ellisi

Observation date: August 14, 2020
Submitted by: stevecary
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Quite an amazing site. In addition to E. ellisi, I also saw I. lupini and (I believe) E. rita coloradensis. sunny, warm. I collected a plant specimen which Bob Sivinski later IDed as Eriogonum corymbosum v. orbiculatum. I was fortunate to find a spider-killed male, which made a great photo subject.
