Coordinator notes: By virtue of the fact that you show three photos, you have two different coppers. I have identified the upper photos (both the same individual) which is the Lilac-bordered Copper. The third individual is definitely the Mountain Copper - Lycaena florus. You can see how the Lilac looks larger with broader wings and the band at the base of the hindwings is narrower and the spots more connected. Very worn individual - male. The Mountain Copper is not quite as old. Mike
