Although Summer Azure (Celastrina neglecta) is widespread throughout north Texas, it is never abundant. It's been a couple of years since I've even seen one. So I was pleased this evening when a female visited my yard. I was working at cleaning up my potting shed and tables when I saw it out of the corner of my eye. Grabbed the camera and snapped a couple pictures. I've kept a list of species that have visited my property and this Summer Azure was #108. This is the third species I've added to my list this year. Things are looking good that I might hit #110 by first frost.
