Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Resubmitting with a partial upper side view in case it can be ID'ed. No orange seen on forewings.
On Tehachapi Mountain between 7-8K fr elevation. Partly cloudy day in the 80’s F. On its Sulphur Buckwheat host plant. Only other buckwheat in the area was Wright's Buckwheat.
Probable ID confirmation due to host plant association and mint condition at elevation. I think this is much less likely to be a female Acmon Blue that came up from the valley. Upper side was brownish so this is a female.
