Black and white striped antennae, a white/silver line around both wings, blue and purple iridescent wings with black veins running diagonally. About the size of a quarter.
Found in an alpine meadow near Mt. Jefferson in Oregon, feeding on a Douglas Aster.
No problem powell440. Glad I could help, keep posting whatever you see up there, I look forward to seeing what you spot! Have fun!
Thanks dude. We were looking around and I think you're correct. I actually found this website looking to identify this beauty.
Not positive on this but check the reference, it is an Oregon butterfly and is endangered. Nice spotting. Welcome to PN
