Red admiral - Vanessa atalanta

Family: Nymphalidae

Flight Time: March-November

Size: 56-63mm

Altitude: 0-2500m


A very widespread species. It has trouble surviving the winter in the UK (although some do) and so the population is boosted by migrants from mainland Europe. It is indeed a strong migrant, it has been recorded flying at night and also in sub zero temperatures. It certainly deserves its swift footed scientific name.

Welcome Mariana.
The spinnaker very nice and liking fruits more than flowers, the excellent contrast, colours and the background.
I am greeting Slawek

Hi Mariana,

Great macro capture of the lovely Red Admiral butterfly with superb details! I like the textures of the wings of the butterfly, taken with great sharpness and from a nice POV.
Great job!

kind regards,
Paras

En mi zona no es muy abundante V. atalanta y en esta época se ven poquísimas. Una buena manera de recibir al Otoño.
Abrazo.
