New-to-me butterfly: Acmon Blue [filler #15] by rhoing

New-to-me butterfly: Acmon Blue [filler #15]

Photographed during our recent trip to California, so this is probably the only photo I'll ever have of this species. And since today was a zero-frame day (after trashing the two lame frames I did shoot), this is a chance to fill in with a west coast butterfly.

Confirmed at BAMONA as “Plebejus acmon” or “Acmon Blue”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1095575
