Tag Archives: Acmon Blue Butterflies

With the warmer weather, butterflies and dragonflies have appeared. But one species of butterflies seems to handle last week’s fog, which grounds most other butterflies. Laura Baker wrote, “[I saw] a pair of Acmon Blue Butterflies which may be mating; I don't know for sure because of the angle."

"We see a lot of these butterflies every year [in Annapolis,] and even though it's been foggy and cool, they seem to be able to be out and about by midday since they fly very close to the ground and don't need to gain altitude like some of the high fliers that have been grounded.”

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

There was fog over the ocean this morning, but it's going to be quite warm today. Overnight temperature here was 68 degrees!
