Wild Indigo Duskywing
Erynnis baptisiae

Observation date: August 15, 2015
Submitted by: rdcpics
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This small brown and black butterfly was in our garden for a few days and was quite difficult to photograph owing to its diminutive size and it didn't stay in one location for more than a few seconds. It was finally attracted to our anise blue hyssop which is a crowd favorite in our garden, especially with bumblebees.
