Blues are small butterflies. In general, the wings of the males, when seen from above are mainly blue or bluish. The undersides, the parts most often seen, are greyish with some pattern of spots and perhaps an orange band. Reakirt's Blue and the Marine Blue were the commonest blues I found during the summer. Marine Blues lack distinct spots on the undersides of their front wings.
