Sm Copper aberration?

Post by Wayne »

I know you've proberbly seen this photo in the "Sites" section, but I was looking though my photos again and noticed it was different to the other Coppers.
Note the small blue/green dots on the rearwings. Also it had a green sheen to it that I'd never seen before.

After looking at other photos in the Small Copper section I thought it was perhaps the aberration caeruleopunctata?

Oh it was really tiny too, like a NB Argus.

What do you guys think?
