Coordinator notes: Definitely a correct ID for this well-orange winged female Purplish Copper. Thanks for all of your submissions Lynn...many good sightings for the BAMONA data bank. I wish I could have made some of these museum specimens (like the Eastern Tailed Blue)! Hope you have a good fall and winter season and take care, Mike
