The Dainty Sulfur (Nathalis iole) flies year round all over Arizona, especially on mild days.
The western pygmy blue (Brefidium exile) is the smallest butterfly in North America. It’s found flying year round as well, all over the Borderlands and beyond.

The photos are mine. The flowers are a zany colorful selection of Gomphrena globosa.
