Azure morning
A power outage woke us up this AM and a trip out to the pond found this guy on a Wild goldenglow (Rudbeckia laciniata) leaf. It looks like some kind of Spring Azure butterfly (Celastrina ladon) but there are many variations. This one's only ~1/2 inch (1.25 cm) in size. I helps that these flowers get tall enough that I'm shooting macros at head height, no bending required.
