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

Cheeky blighter!

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

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