In the Right Place - _TNY_8456
This red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) is standing in the sea of pink flowers on anOctober stonecrop (Hylotelephium sieboldii).
The name of the butterfly, "red admiral" can seem a bit odd given that it isn't very red and what's the naval connection? Well, the admiral part is a variation on "admirable" and that it sure is.
