Acmon Blue
Plebejus acmon

Observation date: September 25, 2012
Submitted by: Josiah Gilbert
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Collected around buckwheat (Eriogonum spp. possibly fasciculatum) fluttering with another blue. This specimen is particularly small for Plebejus acmon (If my identification corect). There faint traces of iridescence on the orange submarginal band. Dotted blues (Euphilotes spp.) can't have that I believe ?
