Arctic Blue
Plebejus glandon

Observation date: June 10, 2021
Submitted by: rebeccagracey
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This male and a female Arctic Blue were coming to nectar at a small daisy. They interacted but didn't mate when I was photographing them. We saw one earlier at a nearby location, and it was also coming to this type flower, Grass-leaf daisy. The flower was not a primrose such as Shooting Star, their host plant, and I didn't see any nearby.
