American Copper – Sleepy Creek WMA

My Son Andrew was down for a short vacation and we went on a hike in Sleepy Creek WMA. The weather was perfect, a little on the cool side (70 degrees) with a light breeze. Along the hike we noted 10 species of butterflies which included an American Copper. This is the latest I’ve seen this species in West Virginia. As the season winds down during the next month I’m still hoping to find an Ocola Skipper. We’ll see.
