A white and (likely) female-because of her darker wing borders- Celastrina neglecta butterfly feeds on pollen from a Blue Vervain. A new Blue Vervain bud sits just underneath her, and blurred green leaves in the background surround her. These butterflies, also called Summer Azures, are common in Michigan
Here's a little #Celastrinaneglecta butterfly for @rina2012.bsky.social's #ButterflyWeek
Wishing you a lovely Tuesday✨
