Hermes Copper - Dorsal Comparison #3

Barrett Lake Vicinity

Hermelycaena (Lycaena) hermes

All 3 of these slightly different individuals were found on the same day in the same two-mile area. This one has very little orange in the DHW compared to the others. Here it is shown perched on it's larval host plant Redberry (Rhamnus crocea).


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Very interesting work and photos, John. Really enjoyed it - wonder which DHW type is in the greatest abundance or are they equally distributed! Thanks for the entertainment!! Big vote!
