Is it a little policeman?

Still on the wing now in Filnore Woods is the Small Copper butterfly.  This species enjoys warm dry conditions so there have been quite a lot about this year.

They are fidgety little creatures and the males are very territorial, attacking any other insects that come near.

The caterpillars feed on sorrel and dock.
