Western Pygmy Blue

Western Pygmy Blue
This tiny butterfly was photographed in Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada. It is the tiniest butterfly in the world and a common insect in the western USA. It is expanding its range, too, reaching as far a Hawaii and the Persian Gulf. Here it is perched on the flowers of the Desert Mistletoe.
