Central Dotted-Blue
Euphilotes centralis

Observation date: July 21, 2021
Submitted by: Joshua C
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I know Lupine is very hard to seperate from Acmon, but the Glassberg guide talks about some minor dorsal wing differences, so this can hopefully be identified. This butterfly was sunning I believe, along the narrow upper part of the trail.
Status: Resident
