Acmon Blue (Icaricia acmon)Observer
alexandraaaDescription
The butterfly was seen in a field of grassland (about 40 feet in length and width of grassland). It was a dusty brown color with orange on its bottom wings. Since it only had orange on the bottom wing, it lead me to think it was a male bronze copper. The butterfly also had small, barely visible, spots all over its wings. It was about 3-4 cm in width and about 3 cm in length.
