In the Right Place, Pt. 2 - _TNY_8445
This red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) is standing in the sea of pink flowers on an October stonecrop (Hylotelephium sieboldii), also known as the October daphne.
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.
