Polyommatus phlaas, Morris, Lep. N. A., 1862, 84. 

 Quite common in the Lower Wabash Valley, but rare in the northern 

 and eastern parts of the State. It flies from May 1st to October, and is 

 most often met with in lowland meadows or along sandy roadsides, 

 where in small parties of two to four it flits close to the ground, stop- 

 ping ever and anon to rest upon a blade of grass or to sip the moisture 

 from the margin of a puddle left by some recent rain. The larvae 

 feed upon a small dock, known as sheep sorrel, Rumex acetosella.
