Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: puddling on side of road near a wet meadow. about 7500 feet elevation , 3 or 4 species of blues present. lots of Common Checkered Skippers. not sure about both of these Boisduval's. I'm wondering if Greenish Blues can have such pale marks on the hindwing.
