I haven't been able to nail down what this little critter is. Anyone know? It's about 3/4"-1" long, very erratic in it's flight. It took me 3 days to finally get an earlier morning pic.

I would check the Blues first. If you don't find it there, go for the coppers.

So the 1st one on the Blue list appears closest. Western Pypmy Blue. Close enough that I'll call this closed. Thanks a bunch!

You're probably right! My book says Western Pigmy Blue is the smallest butterfly in North America.

It really is small. I've seen a lot more of them lately. They're so active, it's hard to get good pics. I got lucky getting that one.
