Tag Archives: Acmon Blue Butterfly

Mary Sue Ittner recently photographed this lovely butterfly, an Acmon Blue.

This butterfly is mainly found in California. Going by my records, it's a pretty rare sighting for our coast!

Thanks to Mary Sue for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

The fog disappeared early this morning. Sunshine and gentle breezes rules the day!

Acmon Blue butterflies, Plebejus acmon, have a delicate beauty. They are quite tiny, just .8 to 1 inch wingspan. Perhaps many of us pass by without noticing them, but not Mark Ricci.
