The Small Copper (Lycaena Phlaeas)
is a fast flying butterfly that, once settled, is unmistakable
with its bright copper-coloured forewings. It is a widespread
species and a familiar and welcome sight for many naturalists
throughout the summer months, and it's flight period is a long
one – from April to October in successive broods. The
caterpillar feeds on sorrel and dock.
Males are great fun to watch as
they are rather territorial and will chase any butterfly on
their patch - this lovely one is feeding on a dahlia in my
back flowerbed.
In my
previous life I worked professionally with horses. But I was
forced to abandon this career that I loved because of a series
of nasty injuries – which are common in this industry. What
helped me cope with this loss and the medical difficulties
that ensued was wildlife photography. But not just any
wildlife – I fell in love with the overlooked and the tiny and
they have helped turn my life around.
The natural world is incredible,
beautiful and at times harsh. I encourage everyone to look
around them more, just for a second longer and watch the
little world around you. You may find yourselves fascinated
too!
