Good news, now I'm curious about their host plant- the Early Blue Violet. Will look up both on Inaturalist

I looked up it's host plant. There are 3 species with the common name Early Blue Violet. The one on the west coast is also called Western Dog Violet. I think I've photographed it at Pomo Canyon near Jenner Ca. Now to sight Behren's Silver Spot!
