#smallcopper — Public Fediverse posts

They say that, as you get older, the policemen start to look younger. But, did you know, they also look smaller?

Good evening good people…

#theBeeAt3 bee facts will return tomorrow folks.

In the meantime here’s a stunning wee Small Copper butterfly hanging out with me earlier.

Cutting of the semi-natral grassland areas in the campus, always feels like a definitive sign that Autumn has arrived. However, with the dry summer it is definitely needed (grasshoppers have all but disappeared) and a later cut last year did the herbs no favours this year.

There are still enough patches left for me to find 4 butterfly species this morning. Fewer flowers for nectar does help!

A superb Small Copper at Brandon Marsh, at the end of last month. My sightings of this species are much less frequent than I'd like, and always so fleeting as they don't seem to hang about in one place for very long before flying off at speed!

Last weekend, we had about 20 of these #butterflies feeding off the Mexican orange bush just coming into flower again. Most were fairly clear phenotypes of the #SmallCopper #butterfly. This one drew my attention due to purple edge wings reminiscent of the #PurpleEdgedCopper. Can anyone help out ? Is this some kind of hybrid or is the purple edging a known variation for small coppers?

Today at the Saturday marketplace I run in my hometown, a vendor was selling native plants. I bought a New York Aster from her and walked about 50 yards to the building where my office is located. In that time, this happened.
