July 24, 2018: Summer Azure



Some still don't consider Summer Azures (Celastrina neglecta) to be a distinct species from the Spring Azures (Celastrina ladon), but unpublished DNA data groups all Spring populations as one species and Summer and Fall populations as another.  Azures are small and can be found flitting about about trailside vegetation.
