Museum - most definitely not a Western Tailed Blue. It's tougher to know for sure from only the upperwing (better details to be seen on the other side), but to me this looks good for Greenish Blue (Plebejus saepiolus)

Nice, Claud!
Randisi, I had one of those guys land on me at about 14,000' in the Pamirs. It was HUGE!
I didn't know whether he would suck my blood or mate with me!

Oops - I forgot to include the appropriate verse. Herewith:
The Yellowjacket
(Vespula invadus)
The wasp is quite ubiquitous –
His sting is most iniquitous.
He stores his tanks of venom
Just abaft his duodenum.
Injects it with a spiculum
Behind his diverticulum.
For hot dogs he’s a greedy beast,
He really digs your outdoor feast.
He’ll occupy your picnic basket –
Permission? He just doesn’t ask it.
To him your sovereignty is naught,
He moves right in without a thought.
His air offensive is so strong
You can’t defend against him long.
How learned the wasp this strategy?
It’s recently come clear to me.
To ants and bees he owes no thanks –
Methinks he learned it from the Yanks.
