Red admiral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Just as I entered the Old Woods, this very fresh looking beauty landed at my feet. I managed a couple of photos before it vanished. This species is considered a migrant, but in Peter Hall's "Butterflies of Ontario" he comments that "This species may overwinter in Ontario since fresh individuals occasionally appear in early spring."
