Red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) on cherry blossoms

THe few blossoming trees at the Arboretum were full of red admirals! It was quite a sight to see. There's a big migration of this species northward and they began streaming through our area a few days ago. They are everywhere!

A very pretty butterfly. It must be wonderful to see hundreds of them. Great close up, color and detail on the pink flowers. V.
