Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Tiny butterflies. They are brown close up with blue close to their bodies. From a distance they look dark blue when they are flying. It is hot;about 90°. They are in a large group. I have roses, chrysanthemums, snapdragons, and dianthus. I just dug a hole for a rose bush and they seem interested in the damp pile of dirt.
