Red admiral butterfly continued. I did disturb the butterfly doing some high mag shots but it flew off and landed on a passionflower plant nearby. It was behaving so calmly that I decided to stick my finger under it's nose and it then stepped on.

Another shot from Wednesday's trip to the Cleveland Botanical Garden; check beck because I am going to identify all these butterflies as soon as I get a field guide.

This species gets its name from the pattern on the underside of the hindwing which forms a M. This butterfly was feeding and constantly moving his hind wings back and forth, waggling his (or possibly her) little tails. This behavior is to lure predators to bite the ends of the wings, rather than more vulnerable areas of the body. These shots are all of the same individual. Parrhasius m-album, Lycaenidae
