------=_NextPart_000_0295_01D88687.49ABEA60 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I was using inaturalist to explore locations where Silvery Blues and Boisdu= val=E2=80=99s Blues had been reported in prairies of south Puget Sound. I l= ooked at the photo linked below and saw that it had initially been identifi= ed as a Boisduval=E2=80=99s Blue (ssp.blackmorei). I didn=E2=80=99t think i= t was a Boisduval=E2=80=99s Blue and thought it was an Echo Azure. Stewart = Wechsler pointed out reasons why he didn=E2=80=99t believe it to be an Echo= Azure and I think Stewart is right. Noting Bob Pyles=E2=80=99 words from y= esterday, =E2=80=9CIf you see ANY maculation distal from the mesial band of= spots, it is Icaricia.=E2=80=9D I believe Stewart Wechsler was probably ri= ght in his initial identification of this butterfly as Icaricia. I=E2=80=99= d appreciate feedback on this one. I remember seeing many blues that looked= like this one, puddling near Johnson=E2=80=99s Prairie on Joint Base Lewis= -McChord, many years ago. The ventral hind wing spots have poorly defined (= not very white) halos and the dark centers are quite large relative to the = light halos. I was totally confused by the ones near Johnson=E2=80=99s Prai= rie. It will be nice, for me, to settle this so I=E2=80=99ll know what I=E2= =80=99m looking at next time.=20 =20 https://www.flickr.com/photos/29002564@N08/52166801318/in/dateposted-public= / =20 =20 -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
