Coordinator notes: This appears to be a Greenish Blue. Though the two species are very similar, the Boisduval’s Blue has nearly perfectly circular spots that are heavily rimmed with white, often so much so that the black inside is barely present. The spots on this individual look more irregularly shaped and not heavily rimmed in white, which much better matches the Greenish Blue.
