Short-tailed Copper

Post by Mikhail »

I thought this interesting Small Copper was worth a record shot, because of its unusually well developed tails. (Bournemouth cliffs 30 July) Rightly or wrongly, I associate this type of development with dark summer Coppers from southern Europe. The July heatwave to blame?

That's an interesting find Misha :D

Could you add it to the Species-Specific Album please.

Many thanks,

Vince
