Sooty copper - Lycaena tityrus

Family: Lycaenidae.
Flight Time: April-October.
Size: 28-32mm
Altitude: 50-2500m

Distinguishing marks:

Wing length 14-17 mm. There is a great difference between the male and the female. The males are very dark brown with lots of black, and some orange, spots on the upper side. Their under side is greyish yellow. The females are orange-brown on the upper wings of the upper side and dark brown on the lower wings of the upper side. The under side is yellow and orange, with big black spots. The main difference with the Small Copper is, that the Sooty Copper has no greyish underside of the lower wings, and has big black spots there, instead of very small ones.


Hope you like it ;)

Hello Tjasa,
I really like the angle at which this copper was leaning over that flower.
The colors, especially the blue, are beautiful, and the details are sharp.
A beautiful composition with the bright yellow flowers.

Very beautiful photo!
Excellent shot of this Lycaenidae!
Rare in Portugal.
Excellent on colours, POV and BG!
So sharp and clear!
Perfect DOF and amaising on details!
Above scale photo!
Keep on going and TFS!

Perfect shot, nice colours and composition but the identification is wrong ;-)
It's a Polyommatus icarus - most common of Lycaenidae. TFS
