Good grief! These little guys never sit still. It's a miracle they ever get enough to eat. I chased this one around the yard until I was exhausted and sweaty like an old pig lol!
The Cassius Blues are .75 to 1" and smaller than a Hairstreak. The 2 spots on the wings have light orange around them that didn't show up in this pic. The dorsal has beautiful lavendar blue on it but fat chance I'll ever get a picture with the wings opened. They love my Plumbago!

Look Donna! This is my first id from the wonderful Butterfly book :) You are turning me into a butterfly chasing maniac! ... hee
