New site species for me.

Could also be Hesperia ottoe, but since it is (at best) extremely rare in Manitoba, it is much more likely to be H. leonardus pawnee.

Believed to be summer flight of Northern Azure, rather than Summer Azure, C. neglecta.

Several of them flitting about our garden today.

Along Road 57E near Highway 44, near eastern boundary of Agassiz Provincial Forest.

Birds Hill Provincial Park

Saw several in the large beds of glasswort in the salt marsh.

Unusually late flight date for Manitoba.

In the wetlands next to West Shoal Lake.

Surprise find during lunch break on Nature Manitoba field trip - some distance from boggy habitat.

Along roadside in farmland.

Photos do not quite do it justice. It actually appeared darker with extensive dark forest green throughout the wing. Flash on my camera obscures that a bit.

Dry mixed grass sand prairie. Pasture.
