Spring Azure |
| These small butterflies (about 1 inch or a bit less) overwinter in the pupal form, and are often among the earliest to emerge from the chrysalis in the spring. They are variable in color, although males will have blue uppersides. Females will have some black markings on the outer portion of the forewing. They range widely through much of US and Canada. This one was photographed by Eklutna Lake near Anchorage in early June, 2003. |
