The Small Copper is usually seen in ones and twos, but in some years large numbers may be found at good sites. Males are territorial, often choosing a piece of bare ground or a stone on which to bask and await passing females. They behave aggressively towards any passing insects, returning to the same spot when the chase is over.
Though it remains a common and widespread species, the Small Copper declined throughout its range during the twentieth century. Widespread through Britain and Ireland, and occasionally visits gardens.

Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas)
5 September 2018, Cuttle Pool Nature Reserve, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, Temple Balsall
The Small Copper is a fast flying butterfly that, once settled, is unmistakable with its bright copper-coloured forewings. It is a widespread species and a familiar and welcome sight for many naturalists throughout the summer months. This butterfly occurs in discrete colonies throughout Britain and Ireland, but is absent from mountainous areas and far north-west Scotland, the Outer Hebrides and Shetland. Most colonies are fairly small, with just a few adults being seen on the wing at any one time.
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #Scrubware.
Happy Macro Monday!
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!

This is my second photo for MM. Unfortunately the date feature in my other camera seems to be broken.
As we head toward Autumn the temperatures start to fall this Small Copper takes advantage of the few flowers that are still providing nectar.
Following a track along the River Glaslyn I saw these ferns above traces of copper. There used to be copper mines in the neighbourhood and there is a disused railway line along which the copper was transported.
A second shot of one of the Small Coppers from my new site on the last day of the #BigButterflyCount - don't forget to get out today and count how many Butterflies you can see in 15 minutes
Went for a walk downtown along the Chena River with alaskanshelly. Never noticed the birch that looked like copper along the trail before. I love our longer days! Sunrise is 6:09 am and sunset is 9:33 pm. Almost fifteen and a half hours of daylight. We gain about seven minutes each day.
The orange glittering wings of the purple-edged copper are amazing. There is a purple shimmer between the orange wing and the black outlines which are the reason for its name
Lycaena eurydame
Die orange glitzernden Flügel des Lilagold-Feuerfalters leuchten unglaublich intensiv. Zwischen dem Orange der Flügel und den schwarzen Rändern kann mann ein lila Schimmern sehen, die dem Falter den Namen gegeben haben.

Two bright #copper toroids borrowed from my husband. He has such fascinating items for my #MacroMondays box of macro thingies.
As shot, no increased vibrancy or saturation.
In case you wondered, these (less than 5.08 centimeters / 2 inches edge to edge) ... are toroidal inductors and transformers that use magnetic cores with a toroidal (ring or donut) shape. They are passive electronic components, consisting of a circular ring or donut/doughnut shaped magnetic core of ferromagnetic material such as laminated iron, iron powder, or ferrite, around which wire is wound. —Wikipedia
