Plebejus acmon
I found this Acmon Blue on an abandoned logging road in North Plains, Oregon.
I also spotted Applegate's milkvetch (Astragalus applegatei) as well as scattered Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus) and Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), which would have served as host plants for the caterpillars.

Thank you for adding all this detailed information Dominique. Looking forward to see your collection build further :-)
Daniele, I have added a description of the Acmon Blue's habitat (and I will go back and add information to my other spottings). Thank you!!!
