Azure #2 - Celastrina
Piney Orchard Nature Preserve, Odenton, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
April 6, 2013
I'm taking my first crack at IDing azures. MDBD gives Spring, Holly, and Summer as recorded species in the county this specimen was photographed, with Appalachian also recorded one county away.

Is this one a Holly Azure?

Probable Holly Azure
BAMONA has IDed this azure as a probable Holly Azure.

"Review Notes: This could also be a spring form Summer Azure, but considering the solid white hindwing fringe, Holly Azure is more likely."
