Silvery Blue

Adult Silvery Blues inhabit sunny woodland edges, clearings, and flower-rich meadows. They sip nectar from small flowers and fly low and swiftly through vegetation while searching for mates and host plants. Males often perch in sunny spots and dart out to investigate passing butterflies.
