*** I have been informed that this is NOT a Karner Blue, but actually an Eastern Tailed Blue. Not at all endangered. LOL. But we will persist and continue to plant our Natives in hopes that one day the Karner Blue population will have recovered enough that we may be graced by their presence! ***
I am ECSTATIC!!!
This, Friends, is the Karner Blue Butterfly and it is an endangered species. Until this week, I had never seen one before in my life and now I have TWO flitting around my flower field!!! I had no idea how tiny they were!!! I planted some native Lupines this spring that are their sole host plant but never thought I’d actually see one!!! Oh my gosh, I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am!!!! 😍😍😍 Plant those natives!!!!
