Theclinesthes hesperia (Western Bitter-bush Blue)

Other Common Names

Western Blue

Notes

I’d been given information about where to find this butterfly (thanks Matt!), but when I got to the site it took me a long time to find it. Eventually I found quite a number of them, but they were all within one relatively small area.

This is not a spectacular species to look at, but I think it’s rather cute, though it’s not especially co-operative when it comes to posing for photos.
