A truly spectacular species with bright copper uppersides and bright orange underside forewings. It is found in SE Europe but also in central parts of Italy. It is also found on most of the Greek islands where many of my sightings originate. Infact I've only found it on the European mainland once, in northern Greece, which is surprising considering it flies throughout the summer.

Hello Pawel,
A superb macro of a species of Copper that I have wanted to photograph for a long time.
This is a female of the rare Large Copper (Lycaena dispar), not L. thersamon that is not found in Poland.
Excellent POV sharpness and lighting and it shows sharply and well against the OOF green BG.
Thanks you for sharing this beauty,
Ivan

Czesc Pawle!
Widze, ze takze polujesz na motyle tej pory roku, trzeba przyznac, ze choc nie sa tak kolorowe jak rusalki czy pazie, to tez przyciagaja wzrok. Bardzo ladnie "zlapana" pani czerwończyk nieparek. Gratulacje!
Tadeusz

Hello Pawel,
a first quality picture of the copper butterfly with respect to composition,
point of view, light, colours and sharpness.
Best wishes, Peter

Hallo Pawel
You have quite a collection of butterfly photos in your gallery. Love the aerial view you have managed to capture of this beauty. Lovely display of patterns and shapes on the wings. You captured this little butterfly in a marvellous pose and made a fantastic shot with a gorgeous composition. I really enjoyed looking at this one. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Pawel,
Excellent sharp detailed photo in great clear colours and a fantastic OOF BG. With a little crop from the left side, to get the butterfly more out of the centre, the composition was also perfect. But this is a superb photo!
Regards,
Peter

Hello Pawel,
Beautiful capture of the Large Copper in a fine pose and very sharply in focus. It really stands out from the green background.
TFS and regards, Ulla
