Coordinator notes: Normally, I wouldn't accept this photo because I can't see the underside marks, but it is too early for Boisduval's Blue so I will. Congratulations for joining the Lepidopterists' Society. I've been working on a publication updating southern California butterflies since Emmel & Emmel's 1973 book.-Ken Davenport
