Well, this isn't a great pic and it's at the wrong angle, but it was one of very few butterflies I've seen this year (with the exception of ten gazillion Cabbage Whites).

Looking at my brand new BF Field Guide may have confused a bit, though I think it may be a "Blue" of some type. I think it looked similar to the one posted by Mrs_Ed a little ways back of an Eastern Tailed-Blue.

By-the-way, I just read the article from the link Mrs_Ed posted about pesticides at Lowes and other places. I wonder if anyone knows how long that lasts. I bought an Agastache last Autumn from Lowes. It was pretty cool by the time I planted it and it had very few blooms. This year, though, it's thriving and constantly covered with all types of bees. I don't use any pesticides at all of any kind. I wonder if the pesticides would remain in the roots and the new growth or if by now it would be pesticide-free? Any input?
