Nice to see the lovely subspecies mariscolore of the #CommonBlue in this female resting on vegetation. However, though the #chalkgrassland was dotted in blue even on a grey mid-morning, the stars that stole the show were the many #Smallcopper marvels

Coming towards the end of #Butterfly season, so it was nice to see this #SmallCopper feeding on #Fleabane at the #RSPB #NewportWetlands a few days ago

Three of us together on the Meanwhiles today, the first time in a few weeks. Autumn is in the air and we have had a good dose of rain this past week.

Just add water
What a difference some rain makes. The Meanwhile Gardens have revived and are looking fresher. Our friendly ecologist has reported two new species to Meanwhile 2 - Small Copper butterfly and Meadow Grasshopper. This is great news. Today we saw a butterfly but I am not sure if it was a Small Copper? I spent a few minutes like a demented paparazzo trying to capture a picture of a stunning dragonfly - apologies for the quality but it's the best my phone could do.

Really enjoying the late season #butterflies. A beautifully iridescent Small Copper came to visit the red valerian flowers in the garden earlier today. Still good numbers of small white, and painted lady too. #southwalesbutterflies #smallcopper

Lovely to see the #Goldenrod taking its place among the still nectar-feeding stalwarts like #Creepingthistle, #CommonFleabane, #Blackknapweed & #Tansy in the still bone-dry #chalkgrassland today. Lots of #Smallcopper, #CommonBlue, #MeadowBrown & #SmallWhite on the wing.

5 different species of butterflies seen on this blustery October Sunday along the #Dykeapproach path, this stunning #SmallCopper shining especially bright.
Berry- & insect-laden Hawthorns & other trees around #DevilsDyke were loud w twittering small mixed flocks, feeding on the Autumn bounty.

This August is definitely #SmallCopper time in the #chalkgrasslands!
Adore this gem, all 36-40mm of its loveliness. It's normally speedy but today they were either keeping out of wind down on the chalky paths, looking like orange bows among grass ribbons. or feeding in swaying favourite flowers.

Fun-sized as their name suggests, Small Coppers are a distinctive orange-red butterfly. They favour sunny grassland habitats, where they can often be seen flitting around the yellow flowers of Common Ragwort.

It's a #butterfly day! 🤩😍🎉🦋 A lovely walk between the showers seeing many orange tips, holly blues & a peacock, but most exciting was my 1st #SmallCopper of the year with a strong colour & blue hind wing abberation. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire

#WildWebsWednesday with beautiful #SmallCopper #butterflies, these all seen at #Brockholes which seems to suit them well. Those with the shiny blue spots on the hind wing are abberation caeruleopunctata. The top right has a beautiful violet sheen on it so fresh! @savebutterflies.bsky.social
