Northern Azure (Celastrina lucia), as its name suggests, has a wide distribution in the north. This butterfly has long been considered as a northern subspecies of Spring Azure (C. ladon), though current systematics now treat it as a full species. This butterfly is known only from higher elevations of western Maryland, where it appears to use Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) as a larval host. In other parts of the range, it often uses various Vaccinium, especially lowbush blueberry (V. pallidum).
