First blue butterfly of 2019!
I think it's an "Echo complex" Blue, also known as a Spring Blue, Spring Azure, Echo Blue, etc. It's on a redbud at Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve, which FYI can be a bit of a butterfly hotspot in spring. Not yet, though, spring is a bit late this year and there were just a few butterflies at the base of the trail.
