The Red Admiral Butterfly

The Red Admiral Butterfly

I have noticed many wonderful butterflies this spring season.  A few weeks ago I captured (on camera) the "Question Mark Butterfly" and today it is the "Red Admiral".  The Red Admiral Butterfly (or Vanessa atalanta) mainly resides in warmer areas but in spring migrates to more northern areas.  This butterfly species enjoys fruit blossoms, stinging nettle and false nettel.  It lives in moist wooded areas.  This butterfly was fluttering around so quickly which unfortunately resulted in fuzzy, unclear pictures.
