Only saw one Reakirt's Blue today

Edinburg, TX

Well, was out at the ranch but it was soooooooooo hot!!! Surely over 100!!! Still drove around the back fields and did see a few butterflies but the one I've been after is a Reakirt's Blue (hemiargus isola). I see them once in a while on the clematis drummondii (goat's beard) but they just never settle down for a photo.

Was only able to get this photo.

Cute little fella!! Teeny, are they not?

I can't believe how many southern blues there are! The prettier ones seem to be far west of Florida. The one that I would love to see is the Sonoran Blue. But alas.... they are only found on the coastline of California. (sigh) A girl can dream .....
