Hello,
The butterfly in the photo you have attached is the Summer Azure. This species profile includes some images of the Karner Blue for you to compare.
The Karner Blue is an endangered species that we are unlikely to encounter unless we are in the specific habitat with their larval host plant, Wild Lupine, present.
