I have only seen the Slender Bluet at Muir Lake State Natural Area in Marquette County. I saw the male only long enough to get this photo and went back the next day hoping to see more, but all I saw was this immature female and a male that I wasn’t able to photograph. Notice the large eyespots, that seems to completely cover the eye.
