Northern Blue

Northern Blue Lycaeides idas resting on last year’s Yarrow Achillea millefolium at Kenny Lake, 15 July 2009.
A flashy little dude.
I thought I should post another butterfly photo since I’m now on board the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson and will be in the Bering Sea for the next 18 days. I probably won’t see any butterflies out here.
