Coordinator notes: The Gray Copper is correct....much larger than the Lupine Blue (which you are applying the name to Plebejus lupini but one of the most unfortunate name mistakes in the butterflies.....the name Buckwheat Blue should apply to it because it does not feed on lupine....the name Lupine Blue should apply only to Plebejus icaroides (or Boisduval's Blue) because it feeds only on lupine throughout its entire western range).
