Plebejus icarioides pembina
This butterfly has a special relationship with ants. The caterpillars of this butterfly produce a sugary secretion which is eaten by ants. The ants in return protect the caterpillars.
Spotted nectaring on an unknown wildflower at the Whiskey Dick Wildlife Area in central Washington ( a sagebrush grassland habitat).
