Copper butterfly, Taylor's Mistake, Christchurch

The compulsion to photograph these small, beautiful, native butterflies (Lycaena sp.) is irresistible for me. This was one of two flitting around a large white flower on the Taylor's Mistake track near Christchurch, last Tuesday.

    RR, most excellent indeed.

    Zhoen, they get scruffy after a while, but this was presumably not long out of the chrysalis.
