FOY? American Copper

[Jeff Cagle]

Hi all,

I got pics of an American Copper in the yard today (Fred Co).  First of year for me, at least.

PS - how did the count on the 4th go?

Count went very well, although it will have to wait on my return from Italy to do and share the compilations

Nice!  Am I correct that your copper is L phlaeas?  

[Rick Borchelt]

Yes. Exact same species.
