Lycaena phlaeas is a common resident in the Netherlands. \nHabitat: The species inhabits a variety of places, including rather nutrient-poor, dry grasslands, gardens, roadside verges, Heathland and coastal dunes, generally these are dry areas with sheltered, sunny spots. Surprisingly, however, the highest densities are found in wet, nutrient-poor grassland.\nDistribution: Its distribution hardly changed during the 20th century.\nFlying Season: The Small Copper flies in three generations from the end of April until the end of September and hibernates as a half-grown caterpillar.\n\n\nThis is a quite common species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.

Untouched nature. When a small piece of cultivated land is left alone for a year during the summer, a remarkable transformation takes place. wildflowers begins to emerge, painting the landscape with vibrant hues. Native plants reclaim their territory and bring biodiversity back to the area. Buried seeds from seasons past awaken, shooting up.
