Small Copper butterfly on Ragwort flowers

The image shows a Small Copper butterfly (Lycaena phlaeas) delicately feeding on the bright yellow blossoms of Ragwort (Jacobaea vulgaris). The butterfly's orange and brown wings with black spots are clearly visible. The background is a soft, out-of-focus green, highlighting the vivid colors of the butterfly and flowers. Ragwort is known to be toxic to grazing animals, but it is an important nectar source for many insects.
