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.
A pair of small copper butterflies mating in the masts field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve in Gloucestershire, This is the same pair that I uploaded an image of a few days ago.
Finally got my Small Copper shot, boy did that take some chasing!! I have only seen 6 this year and only singular ones, on 6 different sites.

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

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.
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.
This is the copper fountain at the Royal welsh show ground in Builth Wells. Will update what it commemorates when we arrive back there, but there are coins attached to the structure too.
Thanks for stopping

At the tea shop in Deene Hall. Nice place, surrounded by things such as these, as well as a beautiful cooking range.

Trying to decide where the thin layer of focus will land on a scrub pad is quiet trying. Scotch Brite Copper scrub pad for cast iron cookware. Frame is 1/2 inch square or 13mm square.

An inbound Freeport-McMoRan copper train drops down the hill from Morenci into the yard at Clifton. On the right, AZER 203 builds its train in the yard. The 203 would come out with the shuttle of two FMI copper shuttles - with less oppressive gradients, two B40-8s are able to pull what took the power and dynamic braking of 10 Geeps to bring out of Morenci.
