Brephidium exilis
The Western Pygmy-Blue is a tiny butterfly with beautiful blue wings. They love to flutter around flowers and are often found in sunny places. These little butterflies are fun to watch as they dance in the air!
生息地: Grasslands
The Western Pygmy-Blue is one of North America's smallest butterflies, often less than an inch wide. Its upperwings are a dull coppery-brown with a small patch of iridescent blue near the body, while the undersides are a paler grayish-brown, sometimes with faint white spots. This tiny size and subdued coloring helps it blend in with dry vegetation.
