The Silvery blue butterfly is a very tiny butterfly (about the size of a dime) and bluish in color. The butterfly is found in North America. It typically flies weakly along just a few inches above the ground. While in flight, it is a beautiful sky blue in color but when it lands and wings are folded, the color is grayish blue. This butterfly is very similar to the eastern-tailed blue but does not have any orange spots on it.
This butterfly was spotted on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay at Fort Smallwood State Park (Anne Arundel County) in Pasadena, Maryland.
