Ogyris zosine, the northern purple azure, [2] is a member of the family Lycaenidae.
Their wingspan is 43-47mm. The larvae feed upon various species in the mistletoe family. As with many Lycaenidae, sugar ants attend the larvae. Mature larvae have pinkish-grey bodies with dark purplish-red spots. [3]
