I seem to find a lot of butterflies in my backyard.I see them every season except for winter. Most of them are monarchs and other fake monarchs but ever since I saw a acmon blue I've kept my eyes pealed and hear I am with a wood nymph !

No it was found right outside my house and thanks for the tip!

I've moved this to the "Arthropods" category for you which includes insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. This looks like C. pegala, but you might want to verify. Was this found during a butterfly survey?
