Plebejus saepiolus

Observation date: June 25, 2011
Submitted by: sandyleapt
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Wet prairie. Nice wild flowers including mallow and aster and noxious weeds including bull thistle and a hounds tongue provide nectar. Lots of puddling places at edge of prairie and lower end of corral. Found some butterflies in the woods and grass near the parking area, but they would not settle enough for me to photograph and identify.
