Today I came across this butterfly.
At first glance from a distance, I thought it was...
... a Painted Lady - Cynthia cardui? But no...
... or a Small Tortoiseshell - Aglais urticae? But no...
... or a Peacock - Inachis io? But no...
... It was a Red Admiral - Vanessa atalanta!
I have learnt a lot this summer! :)

These photos of the butterfly are beautiful.
There are few insects more beautiful than butterflies. I've enjoyed your collection this summer.
all of these are beautiful in their own way. I understand about to many fluttering at one time. I am not a fan of enclosed areas that don't allow them to fly free. I saw a fenced area not much bigger than a room in a house and i wanted them to be free. our jungle gardens has a butterfly garden, but it is open to all who want to fly in and fly out. I agree with you, not to many at one time.
