BLUES
EASTERN-TAILED BLUE- common to abundant early spring to late-autumn. One of our smallest butterflies. Unlike our other Blues, it frequently sits with open wings p. 92
SPRING and SUMMER AZURE- The first brood of the multi-brooded Summer is, confusingly, flying in late winter, usually before the single brooded Spring Azure flies. The Spring Azure is grayer on underside and darker blue on upper side than Summer Azure. Note the Spring's more purplish upper wing color compared to Summer Azure below. Summer Azures fly into autumn, but Springs only the late winter into early spring.
See p. 93
APPALACHIAN AZURE - Considered rare (one Upstate record) in SC mountains, mid to late spring, near Black Cohosh host plant, but I believe it is common during its brief spring flight and have seen many in the Jones Gap SP area in May including the second record for SC, below. The Spring and Summer Azures are closer to dime size and the Appalachian Azure is closer to quarter size p. 94
DUSKY AZURE- Hypothetical mountains p. 95
SILVERY BLUE- very rare (2 Upstate records) mountains p. 95 these photos from northern NY
