Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Gorgeous, partly sunny day with highs in the mid 80s. I found this female ovipositing on young redbuds. I hope the population recovers as I only found a few last year--much lower than previous years.

Coordinator notes: These little guys, Elfins, are overlooked by many people. Great pic showing female depositing on Redbud. Glad you provide nectar & food plant sources for butterflies, I do similar. Thanks, JAMES STEEN
