Small butterfly - Euphilotes bernardino

Size: about 1" of wingspan
This is a small butterfly I had never seen before, and that I saw in Eaton Canyon. It is here on buckwheat, if that can help.

Blues in SoCal love buckwheat
This is a square spotted blue. Saw many of these and the similar Acmon today in Orange County. Most were on or near buckwheat and/or deerweed.
