Need a butterfly pix, please.
Can somebody post a picture of a Karner's Blue butterfly? And how big are they (U.S. measurements)? I saw a pale blue thing about 3/4" across, no bigger than the tip of my finger and was wondering.
According to this educational page about the [url=https://www.nweco.com/Karner_Blue.htm]Karner Blue butterfly[/url], they're about the size of a quarter. Lots of images and descriptive information on that page.
Down at the bottom of the page, it shows comparisons with other blueish butterflies of similar size.

Here is a photo that I took the other day. This butterfly is more like the size of a dime or slightly bigger when the wings are together. It is kind of hard to get a photo of them with the wings open. Don't know if this is the right butterfly but is pale powder blue. Kind of a nervous flier so requires more patience than I have to get a good photo.
