Henry's Elfin
Callophrys henrici

Observation date: April 01, 2015
Submitted by: S. J. Stedman
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I saw this elfin very well before attempting a photo, and saw immediately that it was a classic Henry's Elfin; in particular the inner section of the hindwing did not have the frosting characteristic of a Frosted Elfin (which would be highly unlikely in any event).
