This "purplish copper" butterfly is apparently quite rare in these parts, but my husband got these photos of just such a one during his walk in the Cypress Hills, on the border of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Sakatchewan, with the Grasslands Naturalists. The butterfly posed prettily for him on a flower that shares some of its colors. I particular like its bright fuchsia-purple antennae.

I love your photos!!
Thanks so much for enjoying my painting process! My commissions are piling up, but I love the challenge each one presents. As you have seen, I am very slow at what I do! LOL
Hope that you are having a wonderful weekend!

Very pretty critter, this purplish copper butterfly! Hugs to you all, Jo and family (of cats and husbands)
Very pretty- nice shots!
I so love capturing something unexpected! One thing, is your friendship! Blessings.
Dick did very well for you. I have the worst time taking photos of butterflies. Believe me, I've tried.
Beautiful photos! Here all butterflies are rare this year, so thanks for sharing yours!
