Celastrina neglecta

Butterfly week concludes with my personal favorite, the delicate Summer Azure*. Shy, skittish, not fond of great giant beasts blundering about with cameras, but a darling nonetheless.

What a little beauty!

*The link implies that this is a Canadian species, but the Summer Azure's range actually includes the eastern and central US as well as southern Canada.
