The Bright Copper is notable for its disproportionately large air sacs--a trait that was successfully bred into the much larger [[Regal Copper]] and has allowed the latter to fly efficiently despite its weight.

The Bright Copper is notable for it's disproportionately large air sacs. This trait was successfully bread into the [[Regal Copper]] and is responsible for the breed remaining effective at it's massive bulk.
 
 
==Origin Of Name?==
 
"Bright Copper" is also the common name of the Australian butterfly ''Paralucia aurifer'', first described in 1848. Each wing has an upper pattern of a bright orange triangular center surrounded by wide dark brown margins; the undersides are duller brown with irregular black speckles.
 
 
 
It is possible that in Temeraire's world, the butterfly was named for a resemblance to the British dragon. Conversely, Novik may have named the dragon for the butterfly.
