Celastrina ladon (Spring Azure)

$14.00

The Spring Azure is a delicate and understated butterfly known for its soft pale blue wings and subtle, clean patterning. Its light coloration and small size give it an elegant, almost translucent appearance that stands out for its simplicity.

Celastrina ladon is one of the earliest butterflies to emerge in spring and is widely distributed across North America. It is commonly found in open woodlands, meadows, and along forest edges, often flying low to the ground in search of early-season blooms.

Interesting Fact:
Spring Azures can appear in multiple broods throughout the season, and individuals may vary slightly in color depending on when they emerge.

This specimen is preserved in a traditional papered format, carefully folded for safe storage and transport. In this unspread state, the specimen remains flexible and is ideal for future mounting or long-term collection storage.
