I, too, love elfins, and frosted elfins are my favorite. Just think about their name, "frosted elfin"; it sounds as though they just emerged from Middle Earth! And here in the northeast, they're associated solely with the beautiful wild blue lupine, Lupinus perennis (Baptisia elsewhere), part of another appealing community.

Thanks, Ernest. I've seen 'em in the lupine communities in NY! (And I should've consulted with YOU on the pronunciation of Callophrys. 😀)
