Field Notes

Description:

Adults are bright blue all over, this guy is not quite an adult yet. He is mostly blue with some gray on the belly and chest.

Habitat:

Found in a grassland with small shrubs and few trees. I know where his territory is, so I go and visit him often. I've named him Blotchy :)
