The Lupine Blue (''Aricia lupini'') is a butterfly of the Lycaenidae family. It is found from south-western Canada, south through much of mountainous and intermountain western United States and high plains to northern Mexico. The wingspan is 22–29 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August in one generation in the Sierra Nevada of eastern California. Elsewhere, there are several generations from March to July. The larvae feed on ''Eriogonum umbellatum'' and ''Eriogonum fasciculatum''. Adults feed on flower nectar. The hairs of the caterpillars can cause skin irritation (Urticaria). ==Subspecies== *''Aricia lupini lupini'' (California) *''Aricia lupini monticola'' (California) *''Aricia lupini chlorina'' *''Aricia lupini texanus'' (Arizona) *''Aricia lupini argentata'' (California) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aricia lupini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
