Hey, you beat me to it pford, I was just going to put my checkered skipper on!!! But I had to search thru my book first, this is the first one I've ever seen. I should've waited a few minutes, then I would have seen yours, and I would've known instantly! What a pretty little guy he is, the blue really shows up on his body. I'm thrilled to have another butterfly on my list! I read that their host plant is mallows, and I just discovered a shrub I've admired in a neighbor's yard is a Confederate Rose, which I found is in the Malvaceae family, which I THINK covers mallows. Another plant I want to get!!!!
