Purplish Copper(s) Helen Allison Savanna - Lycaena helloides - Male Female
Helen Allison Savanna SNA, Anoka County, Minnesota, USA
July 28, 2007
Her wingbeats were rapid so a tougher shot. In a marshy area, mostly hiding in the taller grass (sedge?). There were about a dozen flying around. It's been very dry here so I was able to walk anywhere without getting wet.
