Coordinator notes: This is a female Greenish Blue...looks like she is probably laying eggs on the host clover. The underside on Boisduval's Blue has smaller spots on the underside, ringed more with white scales and the black marks toward the wing margins are also reduced in size. You should be able to compare the two from pictures on the BAMONA website. Mike
