Observation date: April 30, 2014
Submitted by: Chris Carvalho
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Looks like a silvery blue but with most ventral wing spots missing. I have seen these blues two consecutive years at this location, so it's not a one-time variation. If requested, I can try to obtain a specimen in spring 2016. Around September 12, 2015 there was a fire in this area that could affect the population. Lupines grow at the location.
Status: Resident

Checklist region(s): United States, Washington, Klickitat County
