Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: mikefisher
Verified date: June 29, 2025
Coordinator notes: Correct ID..."Lupine Blue"...a male. I think I have explained before than this name is a misnomer since its only host is buckwheat (same as the Dotted-blues) so the common name should be "Buckwheat Blue." Mike
