They were disconnected from each other. Nonetheless they will reach out to each other... Why? Because there is hope and love!(♥◡⩘◡)

[PHOTOS TAKEN: MARCH 3RD, 2023 | Image IDs: Two photos of two different species of butterfly feeding from and pollinating the white, green, and yellow flowers of a couple plum trees. Both butterflies are of the family lycaenidae, with one being black and white while the other is a brownish-grey with streaks of black and white and a spot of orange. /End IDs.]

Part 3! Surprised to see these species so early compared to last year

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Though they’re a fairly common species throughout North America, you’d be hard pressed to spot the Western Pygmy Blue butterfly. That’s because they’re one of the smallest butterflies in the world, with a wingspan of only 12–20 mm (0.4-0.7 in).

Hello! Looks like a butterfly caterpillar in the family Lycaenidae, so that includes things like blues, azures, coppers, and hairstreaks. But I couldn't tell you exactly which species it is at this stage!
