Red admiral (Vanessa atalanta)

1/200 sec - f/8.0 - ISO 200
Interesting Tidbit: The Red Admiral is an admired butterfly, popular in much of North America,
Asia, and Europe. This butterfly enjoys many types of environments and has a strong affinity to
flowers. The males are territorial and many times can be found in the same location day to day.
The undersides of the wings are a mottled brown and tan with a curved bright red color on the
upper side of the brown/black wings. Although a quick flier, this beauty is a more docile butterfly,
it tends to be a friendly visitor in gardens. ~Wildscreen Arkive~

Very nice shot, and, as always, good commentary.
