Love on the Fireweed - _TNY_4498
Not very far from where I found the wood tiger beetle I posted two days ago, my wife found me these two blues busy in the throes of love at the top of a short fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium).
Like most blues I find and shoot, this is one of two species: the idas blue (Plebejus idas) or the silver-studded blue (Plebejus argus) - but they look so similar that I can't tell which these are.
