Summer Azure
''Celastrina neglecta'', the summer azure, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found in North America. Layberry, Hall, and Lafontaine, in ''The Butterflies of Canada'', describe the species: The upper surface is pale blue with an extensive dusting of white scales, especially on the hindwing. In some females the blue is almost entirely replaced by white with a small amount of blue near the wing bases. Females have a broad blackish-grey band on the outer third and costa of the forewing. The underside is chalky white to pale grey with tiny dark grey spots and a zigzagged submarginal line on the hindwing. Wingspan is . Known host plants for the caterpillars include New Jersey tea, dogwoods, and meadowsweet. Adults nectar from many plants including vetch, yarrow, meadowsweet, rough-fruited cinquefoil, Queen Anne's lace, wild oregano ('' Origanum vulgare''), narrow-leaved mountain mint, Joe-pye weed, and goldenrods.

Lucia Azure
''Celastrina lucia'', the lucia azure, northern azure, eastern spring azure or northern spring azure, is a species of butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found eastern North America, ranging from the Maritimes south through the Appalachian Mountains to West Virginia. The wingspan is between 22–35 mm. Adults are sexually dimorphic. They are on wing from April to July. The larvae feed on ''Vaccinium'' species, including '' V. pallidum''. Taxonomy Until the early 1990s, most North American azures were thought to be a single species, ''Celastrina ladon''. More recently, research has revealed that there are many different species of azures, including ''C. lucia'', which had been treated as a subspecies of ''C. ladon''.

Holly Azure
''Celastrina idella'', the American holly azure, is a species of butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found on the east coast of the United States. Description Adults The wing uppersides are uniform light blue or purplish-blue, shinier in females than in males, with white fringes. The wing undersides are light gray or white with dull black spots. Larvae Caterpillars vary in color between green and white. Some caterpillars develop white chevron markings on their back. Differences from similar species American holly azures differ from the co-occurring azure species by their smaller size, wing color, flight period, pupal diapause, and larval hosts. Northern azures have earlier flight and pupal periods, larger size, and more vivid adult and larval color. Spring azures can be distinguished by close examination of the wing scale structure in a captured individual but are otherwise nearly indistinguishable by sight.

Cherry Gall Azure
''Celastrina serotina'', the cherry gall azure, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found across North America as far north as the treeline.

''Eriophyes cerasicrumena'') and apparently also on the mites themselves, making them one of the rare species of carnivorous Lepidoptera. It is commonly found around woodland roads of upland mixed deciduous hardwood forests which are surrounded by wetlands.
