I have just seen your post on Kanyanas page and wanted to let you know that I saw one that had been hit on urch rd in Roleystone.
I stopped to check him but he had passed :(
Thought I would let you know as I had never seen one before and never knew they existed until I was explaining him to my naughty our and she told me what he was.
Another butterfly. A copper one. I believe it to be a bronze copper despite the bright wings suggesting it’s an American copper, because the underside of the wings don’t look like they match.
Edit: Hobiecat gave a good argument to the butterfly’s identification. Now I’m confident it’s a small copper.

I spotted this mole making its way across the lawn and in the flower beds... It caught a black beetle and was eating the beetle while I took the photos...
