American Copper Butterfly

Lycaena phlaeas

Description:

The American Copper flies a foot or two off the ground in rather quick sorties from one nectar source or perch to another. Being only an inch in wingspan, the American Copper would seem to be a seldom-observed species, but its colorful coppery wings give away its position.

Habitat:

Sand Prairie
