As you know, my name if Karner Blue butterfly. My scientific name is Lycaeides melissa samuelis. I was discovered and named by a famous novelist, Vladimir Nabokov.
I live in Pine Barrens and Oak Savannah habitats. I am fairly small, my wingspan is approximately 1 inch long, about the size of a postage stamp!
You can find me in certain areas of Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Many, many years ago I also could be found in Illinois, Missouri and even certain parts of Canada.
