I know when I've had BAMONA ID the Azures it was easy for me to guess. In May, I guessed Spring, and in September, I guessed Summer. But since it will be July, if I saw one, I'd be a little stumped. I usually see the more common Eastern-Tailed Blues in WV. In FL, I only see Cassius and Ceraunus Blues and I know how to tell them apart. The hardest part was learning how to spell Ceraunus without looking it up every time! Rolling on the floor laughing

Pam, great photos! Looks like things are exciting up in Gator Country! Glad you saw the Zebra Longwing. I have so much fun watching them fly around like they don't have a care in the world. And I love your "water tank" description of the Monarch's abdomen! Rolling on the floor laughing Too true!
