The American Copper Butterfly, scientifically known as Lycaena phlaeas, is a sight to behold in nature. A member of the Lycaenids family, it is known for its brilliant orange and black wings, which are reminiscent of a copper penny—hence the name. These butterflies are found across North America, and are especially abundant in the northeastern United States. The American Copper Butterfly is also known for its interesting life cycle. Adult butterflies emerge in the late spring and lay their eggs on the underside of sorrel and dock leaves. The larvae then overwinter in a state of diapause, or dormancy, before maturing in the spring. The American Copper Butterfly is a true symbol of resilience and transformation, making this t-shirt a thoughtful representation of nature's wonders.
