Acmon Blue
Plebejus acmon

Observation date: March 26, 2016
Submitted by: rhedden
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I have seen this species several times in the early spring in this location. It is closely associated with purple-flowered milkvetches that grow along the lake shore in this one location. I think it is an Acmon Blue rather than a Lupine Blue, but seems to be outside its accepted range. Have additional photos from 3/31/2013.
