Natural History Story
Celastrina echo, aka Echo Azure, is a butterfly native to the Pacific Coast range. In researching this butterfly, I discovered that females echo azures lay their eggs on the flower buds of their host plants, which include California buckeye, ceanothus, dogwood, and blackberries. The hatched larvae then feed on the buds and flowering plant. The larvae are also attended to by ants.
