After the successful first day travelling from Las Vegas to Kanab, this was
the first day from our temporary basis. We decided on a tour to Lake Powell,
to explore the environment. There are few exits from the highway, this was
the first straightforward option to stop. After the huge Swallotail Papilio glaucus
this morning in Kanab, here we found one of the smallest
butterflies in the world, and certainly the smallest in the states: the Western
pigmy blue, Brephidium exilis. It offered a good exercise in insect
photography, but the site wasn't too rich so we didn't stay long here.
