Hello all, I have just returned from a visit across the south of France, the Var, Bouches-du-Rhone,and the Pyrénées-Orientales, where I managed to see my target species for the year,the Violet Copper (Lycaena helle). After two days searching I finally found this little beauty perched on my wife's hiking stick when she returned from a little walk, you couldn't make it up !!! see photos and many others including L dispar, a stunning newly emerged male on my website by clicking on this link.
