Cupido amyntula

Observation date: May 17, 2016
Submitted by: bobscafe
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Qty 2 Eastern Tailed Blues foreground, with a Silvery blue in rear. Interesting, have seen lots of ETblues on both Comstock FSR (the south side of Iron Mtn.), and on Fox Farm FSR, on the north side of Iron Mtn. Suspect we may have another colony in the Merritt area. I see them every time I hunt either of these areas.
