This is an Usia, there are three species with this wing pattern, aenea, aenoides and similis. Idenification nearly always requires a specimen. I am particularly intersted in this genus and would welcome specimens from anyone willing to let me borrow them for a while.

By the way, the flower is NOT Taraxacum officinale, not even Taraxacum.
