Whats my Moth/Butterfly????
I live in Port Charlotte, FL. I was taking my dog out back when I came across, and apparently disturbed these two moths, or butterflies. Can you tell me which it is…….Thanks
Megan

Hi Megan,
We believe these are mating Cassius Blues, Leptotes cassius, based on an image we located on BugGuide. They are Gossamer Winged Butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
