Copper butterflies get their name from the brilliant metallic sheen of their wings, created by microscopic scale structures that reflect light like tiny mirrors. The small copper is also one of the most fiercely territorial of all butterflies — males vigorously chase off any intruder from their chosen patch of sunlight, including much larger insects, birds, and even passing humans.

The copper's metallic sheen is the challenge to capture — build it from a warm orange base, then add cadmium yellow highlights and dark red-brown shadows to simulate a metallic surface. Small bright flecks of yellow-orange scattered across the wing suggest the characteristic way copper scales catch and scatter light with every wing movement.
