Summer Azure (Celastrina neglecta) U.S. National Arboretum, Washington DC
The Azures survived the brutally cold snap with freezing temperatures plummeting into the 20's and strong northerly wind. They are very resilient! This Azure is showing signs of battle and part of his hindwing is snapped off, probably by a hungry bird.
The magnolia blooms did not fare so well. It was a sad sight today with all blossoms and buds brown and withered away.
