Acmon Blue. Wrong; it's square spotted. And later to become Bernardino. - Euphilotes bernardino
Irvine Park, Orange, Orange County, California, USA

Very stunted, more the size of a pygmy blue.

(Written later July 2009) The "outdated" Orange County butterfly book I initially used for ID called this Bernardino Blue. Looks as if we're now back to that.)

Square-spotted blue
Isn't this actually some form of square-spotted blue? The checked forewing fringes would indicate that it is this species rather than acmon.

You're right. Now I'm going bleery-eyed. Did I err here too?

Thanks.

I almost let this one get away, thinking it a py*gmy.
