Lycaena phlaeas (Small Copper) [in Turk. Benekli Bakır Kelebeği]

A small butterfly with a wingspan of 23-30 mm. The upperside basal ground colour is a bright copper orange on the forewing and dark brown on the hindwing. The forewing has a brown border along the outer margin and scattered black markings. On the hindwing there is a copper coloured submarginal band and a small tail at the hind angle. The underside of the forewing has a deep erange colour with a light brown outline and scattered black marks. The hindwing ground colour is light brown with a thin orange line in the submarginal area and scattered black marks. The female is similar to the male. The butterflies of the summer and early autumn broods have the copper colour on the upperside somewhat subdued and replaced with dark brown.

It has a range extending over the entire northern hemisphere and includes Europe, North Africa, the Middle East including Cyprus, Asia to Japan and North America. The adult butterflies begin to emerge in February and are on the wing until November in at least four broods. In some years it is observed earlier (January) and may still be on the wing until the beginning of December. Overwinters in the larval stage. The larval host-plants are various species of the Polygonaceae (Docks) family.

A superb macro zoom of the rust red butterfly, with a good front on view. Excellent sharpness, with a good shallow dof. Tfs!

Hi Bayram
Great angle! Now what mm is your lens? Cause you shoot lots of nice pictures but in my experience the butterflies fly away so fast.
Great use of DOF.

hello Bayram

It is sad to read Seyfettin's last post and his note, he has been on TL very actively.

A nice capture of butterfly for this dedication, with bright light and focus on the head with wings a little soft.

tfs, bill
