Western Pygmy-Blue
Brephidium exilis

Observation date: November 12, 2023
Submitted by: Zencoyote
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Extremely tiny fliers, a group of 3 or 4 hanging around the trail on the way up the western slope of the "Volcano" in Calavera Preserve. Energetic and erratic, I've been seeing these and losing track of where they go. But today I managed to see one land and was able to make a tentative ID. It was very warm and dry this day, with a lot of flier activity.
