During our stay in the Massif Central in France, I saw two types of Coppers (any comments welcome),
Purple-edge Copper male female
and, Scarce Copper male male and female courting
Does that female look a bit like yours David ?
Cheers, Chris

No, it doesn't, Chris. Guy was right. Mine was Purple-Shot rather than Scarce.
Sadly, I'm still to see a female of this species, although with about a dozen males seen I'm not complaining.
Surely Sooty Copper must have been about? I saw quite a few in the Massif Central in 2011.
