This morning. Do small coppers emerge and age together or are emegences staggered over the adult flight period? Nice specimens 10 days ago are now rather tired at the same site. Ringlets get very worn as well.

All species emerge over a period of time, although some are more "compressed" than others - Black Hairstreak has a very short flight period!
