Coordinator notes: In April 2025 I posted this observation on iNaturalist and it was immediately corrected to a very similar species: Denivia theocritus, Pearly Hairstreak. The differences are that white frosting on the FW apex and a slightly different arrangement of the blue spots. Or as the identifier on iNaturalist said: "Forewing with subapical white scales and post-median markings in a different configuration."
