Celestrina ladon - Celastrina echo
Copyright © 2007 Hartmut Wisch

Celestrina ladon - Celastrina echo
Mill Creek Summit area, ~5000 ft. altitude, San Gabriel Mountains, Los Angeles County, California, USA
April 2, 2007
In Mixed Chaparral (CNPS:Chaparral whitethorn series). Perched on Adenostoma fasciculatum (Chamise, currently not in flower), but watched some Spring Azures sipping nectar in nearby Skunkbrush (Rhus trilobata).
Marginal note: after coming out of the chamise my head and clothes were full of carpenter ants (hadn't noticed them while photographing), and I found a dog tick crawling up my pants.
