Another sign of spring is the appearance of these little blue butterflies. Although you can't tell by this photo where the wings are closed, when these creatures fly they are like dazzling bits of bright blue! They don't often sit with their wings open so we usually only see the blue when they fly. However, occasionally one gets lucky and here is a photo of one with the wings open: http://www.pbase.com/laroseforest/image/155682443
