A photo of a Scarce Copper butterfly perched on a leaf. A beautiful species, sadly not found in the UK.

Scarce Copper Lycaena virgaureae, from the family Lycaenidae. A quite lovely butterfly seen on a trip to Bulgaria, some years back.

Scarce copper (Lycaena virgaureae), female, in my garden yesterday. This is always a highlight when I see this species in my garden 😍😄. #butterfly #fjäril #insectsinmygarden #butterfliesinmygarden #scarcecopper #vitfläckigguldvinge #dukatenfalter
