Flutterby and Butterfly

I was looking for information and pictures of Nabokov's Blues and other butterflies on the Internet and found this page that talks about the Karner blue. Vladimir Nabokov determined in 1944 it to be a distinct subspecies. Please visit the following link to see a picture (it is a stunning specimen) and the article associated, with a complete bibliography ~

The next site goes into explicit detail about the Karner blue, its life cycle, habitat, and geographical locations. I am an English and Religious Studies major and I could follow along and found it to be a comprehensive yet fascinating article. To read all about it ~

Happy Flutterby and Butterfly hunting!
