Callophrys lanoraieensis
bog elfin
Callophrys lanoraieensis, the bog elfin, is a small North American butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is a habitat specialist restricted to peatland ecosystems dominated by black spruce and tamarack. The species has a limited distribution in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, with isolated populations across its range. Its small size, dull brown coloration, and lack of hindwing tails distinguish it from related elfin species.
