blue-copper butterfly?
Can you tell me what species this is? THANKS!

Hi Greg,
They say color is the most subjective element in art, and it is amusing that you describe this as a blue-copper butterfly. The actual common name is composed of two other colors, Red Spotted Purple. The species is Limenitis arthemis.
