The Dusky Copper is a small butterfly with a wingspan of only about 3cm which occurs from Kwazulu-Natal to North West through Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Limpopo where they inhabit grasslands and thorny savanna. They usually occur in small colonies and even when disturbed will not fly far from their colony. Adults are seen from September to May.

So ‘n pragtige skoenlapper!
Ek dink ook so, Aletta, al is hy aan die valer kant
‘n Wonderlike beskrywende naam vir hierdie skoenlappertjie!
Is dit nie!?
This is a difficult one to catch with its wings open!
Absolutely true, Anne!
So lovely, Dries.
Despite the subdued colour on this butterfly I agree with you entirely, Sylvia!
Lyk hy dieselfde kleur as hy sy vlerkies oopmaak?
Nee, Ineke – die bokant van die vlerkies is maar bra vaal, en hulle wys dit selde. https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Aloeides_taikosama
So vermoed aan die manier hoe hul stil sit.
The name sure fits the coloring.
Very true indeed!
