Atalanta of Admiraalsvlinder -- Red Admiral
This butterfly is a rather common species around here. What is remarcable is the day it was photographed. Normally we don't see anymore butterflies around All Saints but today I spotted 2 Admirals, a Peacock butterfly, a Hummingbird Hawk-moth and some Darters laying eggs in the pond. Proof of global warming?
