Anyone care to use it as an avatar? Maybe this one is more charismatic.

I think it's "Pearly Heath". We seem to have strayed into Europe :)

Cheeky blighter!

In fact I got there from the parent website - which is very good:

http://butterfliesofamerica.com/

and especially the list: http://butterfliesofamerica.com/list.htm

Some interesting comparisons with European species. But typically American: they call our Small Copper the "American Copper" and it's the "Old World Swallowtail".
