Geocache Description:

Cassius Blues are members of the Lycaenidae, or Gossamer-Wing family of butterflies. The Blues are usually shades of blue or have some blue on their wings. Cassius Blues bask in the sun with their wings flat, but they rest with them raised, allowing observers to see these bold eyespots clearly. While resting, the butterfly will rub its hindwings together, mimicking the motion of antennae being cleaned. This is believed to confuse butterfly-eating birds into thinking that the actual head of the butterfly is on the other end of its body. If successfully tricked, the bird attacks the butterfly at the eyespot region, giving the butterfly the chance to fly away with only a small bite missing from its hindwings.

The caterpillars of the Cassius Blue are small and green to pale-green. They can be found eating the flowering parts of milkpeas, wild tamarind and other legumes. Three or more generations can be produced every year, which creates a stable local population.  This species can be found in Texas and Florida where they are commonly found all year long. The adults can be found in gardens, parks, sand dunes, and plant nurseries.
