One of our smallest and yet most brightly coloured butterflies. They emerge in late April and stick around until mid-June when they are replaved by the very similar summer azure. The larvae are attended to by ants. Larvae most often feed on pin cherry, blueberry and Viburnum.

Lovely little butterfly, highly variable in markings.
Has a spring, and summer form.
